                              I am posting a letter that will go home with students tomorrow.  Please take some time to go over the information with your students.  We will be performing at Charlotte Middle School on November 19th.  Your personal letter will have your performance time.  Please remember that times are assigned by the event coordinators, and are extremely difficult to adjust.  Also attached to this blog is a map to Charlotte Middle school.  I'm excited about our upcoming festival!

                                About Mrs. Spurbeck

                                Jenny has been a cellist for 29 years and has actively shared her joy of making music with students since 1993. After earning degrees in cello performance from Vanderbilt University and Michigan State University, she pursued Suzuki Training primarily under the guidance and direction of Marilyn Kesler.  Since then she has taught a wide variety of students, both privately and in ensembles throughout her teaching career, many of whom have pursued music outside their formal education.  

                                Jenny’s greatest musical memories include having a private lesson with Yo-Yo Ma and facilitating an informal opportunity for Mr. Ma to meet her students after he performed at the Wharton Center.  She actively performs in recitals in the community and considers herself to be a life-long learner.  

                                Jenny is an enthusiastic advocate for encouraging young people to grow to their potential in their musical endeavors.  She lives in Lansing with her husband Sam, also a music teacher, and her two children, David (9) and Rebecca (12).
