Newsletter Naming Contest
New School Newsletter Name: Key Notes
A special thanks to all the parents and students who entered our newsletter naming contest! We appreciate your ideas. After looking through several submissions, we chose the name Keynotes because of its clever double (maybe triple?) meaning. “I thought of it because the newsletter gives us info about different issues at the school, like a keynote address, and a keynote is also the first note of a musical scale,” says the winner of the newsletter naming contest, Ms. Joy Murphy.
Joy has two students enrolled at Yamaha: Jennifer Murphy, a graduate of the Young Musicians Course, takes private lessons with Ayako Hattori, and Melissa Murphy, who is in the Junior Special Advanced Course and also takes private lessons with Ayako Hattori. In October 2010, Jennifer had the honor of playing her original composition at the National Junior Original Concert in Cary Hall, and Melissa had the opportunity to play in the ensemble for the piece.
The Murphy’s live in Woburn, MA, and won a Yamaha dock for their iPod or iPhone. Congratulations, Joy!
