Hello MATT families,
All regularly scheduled classes and private lessons are still in session today. Our students are welcome to wear their costumes to class!
Photo Days November 7 + 8 (ALL STUDENTS):
On November 7 and 8, MATT will have a photo day for all our students. This will take place during your child's class, a volunteer will tap them on the shoulder, and in groups of 2- 4 they will go out into the hallway to have their photos taken. Once they are done getting their photo taken they will return back to their seat and continue with their class. We kindly ask that students dress up in colourful clothing.

All Advanced students please wear your MATT shirt to class on November 14 and continue practicing your music as we will be recording our submission for the CBC competition in class on Tuesday, November 14.
