Practice Makes Perfect

Our 100 Days of Practice challenge is in full swing as we move into February. For those of you participating, we hope you are able to carve out sections of your day for your practice, that you are noticing improvements in your playing, and that you are super proud of what you have accomplished so far!

Daphne Letourneau Participates in the 100 Days of Practice Challenge

Daphne is a student of Carole Ruth, and has just recently started playing the violin. Some of you may know her grandfather, Denis Letourneau. Denis has been a long time supporter of the Vernon Community Music School, and was one of the first teachers to teach at the Music School in 1976.

Both Denis and Carole taught violin when the Music School was located in the Army Camp in the K Hut from 1976-1982, and then moved to our current location in the heritage Smith House building. What a history!
