SAPA End of Term 3 Update

Back in Business! Returning to Reduced Hours After Maternity Leave
Kia ora Parents and Students,
I hope this message finds you all well and enjoying the lovely Spring weather. It has been a joyful year for me as we welcomed our beautiful second born daughter, Alice, 6 months ago. I am grateful for this precious time and for the support and understanding from all of you during my maternity leave. Baby A is such a delight and she's already showing a love of music and dance, taking after Mama.
As I transition back into teaching, I am working reduced hours to balance my time between our music school and prioritzing my children while they are little. For those of you whom I am or will be seeing for private lessons in my home studio, I so appreciate your patience and flexibility while navigating the juggle of teaching around my girls.
I am looking forward to reconnecting with those of you who wish to do so. Please send me an email or text, I'm excited to hear about your progress, and perhaps continue our musical journey together. Your dedication to learning and love for music are truly inspiring, and I am thrilled to be back doing what I love!
Preschool music and movement classes are my priority at the moment, as that is the season of life I am in with my children. If you know someone who might be interested, my current classes run on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings during the school term. I am looking at starting an afternoon class, on either a Wednesday or Friday.
Additionally, I do have limited capacity for after-school and possibly Saturday lessons. I am opening up just five private lesson slots for Term 4 and two of them are already taken, so if you're keen, get in quick.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions regarding schedules or lessons.
Thank you for being a wonderful part of our music school community.
I wish you all the best in your musical journey or whatever passion you are persuing in this season.
Nga mihi nui,
Hannah Snelling
SAPA End-of-Year 2023 Update and Seasons Greetings
Sunday, December 3, 2023 by Hannah Snelling | Uncategorized
Kia ora SAPA whānau,
As we approach the festive season and the close of another wonderful year at Sparrow Academy of Performing Arts (SAPA), I want to extend my warmest Christmas and New Year wishes to each and every one of you. May this holiday season be filled with joy, music, and precious moments with your loved ones.
I have some important updates to share as we bid farewell to 2023. Firstly, a reminder that I will be on maternity leave from the end of Term 3. Consequently, there will be no lessons in Term 1. Private home studio lessons will resume in Term 2, and toddler group lessons are expected to recommence in Term 3, if not before. For Ao Tawhiti students, lessons will resume in Term 3. I will send an update at the end of Term 1 with more information on my return to work.
Please note that there will be an adjustment in prices when lessons resume. These changes are necessary to support the growth of SAPA and ensure continued quality in musical education. Any remaining credit on your account will carry over into the new year and be reflected on your first invoice of 2024.
As we reflect on the past term and year, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each student and parent for being an integral part of the SAPA community. Your dedication to music, growth, and learning has made this year exceptionally special. It's truly heartening to witness the progress, passion, and joy that music brings to each of you.
Wishing you a harmonious holiday season and a New Year filled with new melodies, achievements, and cherished moments. I look forward to making beautiful music together in the coming year.
Warmest regards,
Hannah Snelling (a.k.a Ms. Sparrow) Sparrow Academy of Performing Arts 0221713732
