Rising bell comes at 7:00am and guests enter the Farmhouse side door at the 7:30 breakfast bell. The class day begins for all participants at 9:00 am for the Recreation Class at the Pavalon followed by Technique Class at 10:00 am and Reading at 10:30 am. Classes are held every day except Monday. There is an official rest period after the Mid-day Meal at the Farmhouse (we call it Dinner) until 3:00 pm.
Some days there is an afternoon program which begins around 3:00pm and may meet in the Schoolhouse or Blackbird Music Studio. Tuesday through Friday at 7:00 pm we have ‘Playtime’. Playtime is an hour plus of free dancing by lantern light in the Pavalon and meadow to live, concert-quality piano music.
