February 14, 2026: Saturday Remix
Teachers and Staff: Happy Saturday!
Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️🎵
Happy Valentine’s Day to the teachers and staff of Dennis Frayne Music Studios, Laguna Niguel & Lake Forest Schools of Music. What you do each day is an expression of care, professionalism, and genuine belief in your students. You show up prepared, you listen closely, and you guide with both high standards and kindness. That combination changes lives. I see the patience you bring to each lesson, the encouragement you offer at just the right moment, and the pride you take in helping students grow not only as musicians, but as confident, capable people.
Your work is an act of love, offered quietly and consistently, lesson by lesson, student by student. Thank you for the heart you put into your teaching and for the excellence you represent in our schools and lesson rooms. Thank you for the hearts you touch, the confidence you build, and the beauty you bring into the world through teaching.
Saturday, February 14, 2026 (today) we are Closed (no lessons) for Valentine’s Day (one day only). We are Open and lessons are back ON for Sunday, February 15, and lessons are ON for Monday, February 16, which is Presidents' Day (officially Washington's Birthday).

Q: Can my student be a “Did You Read Your Newsletter” contest winner?
A: Yes! Contest winners can receive 10 Prize Tickets if they are mentioned in the monthly newsletter and tell you about it when they come to their lesson. You can verify this by checking the newsletter yourself (printed version, email, or online) – remember, you are committed to reading the monthly newsletter, too! So you should notice when your student is selected as the contest winner!
Your student might be selected via a random assignment, or, you can also request to have your student selected by sending us an email and letting us know! We enjoy selecting students who are excited about accumulating prize tickets!
