Pardon Our Dust!
by Ginevra Ralph, Director of Education
Welcome back to Fall term classes – and year-round lessons for all ages at The Shedd. These are momentous times in The Shedd’s 15 year history, as our major capital campaign Completes the Transformation of our wonderful – but decidedly aging – building into a more welcoming, accessible, energy efficient, and better functioning music school and performance center.
What you will notice this fall, besides some new faces on the Shedd Faculty, are new restrooms on all 4 floors of the 1962 School wing, lots of renovation in the Jaqua Concert Hall as we replace the balcony. Later in the year we will be working on areas of the School to improve the sound attenuation, ambience, and climate controls.
The School is now open 7 days a week, and we work hard to match your busy family schedules with flexible lesson timing. We know that having “enough time” is the hardest barrier to overcome in lifelong music participation. But let’s see what we can work out together with some creative scheduling!
