Hello everyone! We are thinking of you all at the JTPTrust and hoping you are all safe and well. How fantastic that we managed to hold the JTPTrust Festival before the national ‘lock-down’ and what lovely memories we will all have of that day! Thank you to our adjudicators and accompanists who helped to give you all such a positive experience. We hope you are enjoying watching your videos!

The start of the summer term is planned for Tuesday 21 April, but it is most likely that lessons will be online, due to our present national emergency circumstances.  We are unlikely to be able to physically commence the summer term at Haydonleigh. Instead we plan to run some Tuesday Online Zoom Lessons so we can all check in together, enjoy some weekly singing and look ahead to future singing exams and performances.

Online Lessons will be 30 minutes long and will cost £25 (£5 per lesson) for the first five week term, starting on Tuesday 21 April. Parents: We will need permission to work with your children via video link and we ask you to be within sight and listening distance of your child. You are welcome to sing along with the younger children!

If you would like to enrol for Online Lessons starting on Tuesday April 21st I would welcome responses from you on receipt of this Newsletter. Lessons will be at around your usual times. If payments are an issue please let us know.

SPRING TERM LESSON 10 did not happen of course due to the present circumstances. We will however reinstate this lesson as soon as we can.  It won’t be lost to you.

SPRING TERM OUTSTANDING FEES The end of the Spring term happened abruptly so there are still number of Spring Term fees outstanding.  If this is you we will  write to you to request the balance. If this really causes you difficulty in the present circumstances please let us know in response, but it would be helpful to the Trust if we could wrap up the Spring term finances before we approach the summer term.

STANDING ORDERS Your April standing order is likely to have gone through, but please cancel any future monthly payments on receipt of this email. We will sort out any necessary repayments in due course on an individual basis.
