As you may know, within the last two to three weeks, DJM Studio has moved our studio classes, events, and activities to an online audio/video conferencing platform. We completed our first full week of classes last week, and I am pleased to say that the overall reaction and result in all the classes was both quite positive and successful! Of course, we recognize that there is still a learning curve and some growing pains in adapting to this current version of normal. But thank you all for a successful week, and a big BRAVO to everyone who has participated so far!
Below are bullet points of all you need to know regarding our classes, including our upcoming Spring 2 Term, Open Mics, and other upcoming events. Full details follow those bullet points follow as you scroll down the newsletter. Please read carefully, and thoroughly - the answer to your question may be closer than you realize! :)
Stay safe, take care, and thank you, as always!

Monthly Open Mic and Special Event Calendar
Hosted and accompanied by Dan Manjovi
April -June 2020
Reserve in advance, and get first preference to perform!
Our Monthly Open Mic series is a fun and exciting opportunity for singers, instrumentalists, and performers of all levels - and their friends - to perform, hear new material, and burnish performing skills in a warm, welcoming, professional performance setting. All performers of all varieties and levels are welcome!
Hosted by award-winning composer, performer and teacher, Dan Manjovi, these evenings are always fun, surprising, poignant, and exciting.
A few helpful hints (please read):
1. Performers are scheduled in the order in which they reserve their spot. Reserve your spot early, and receive first preference to perform.
2. Since this is a virtual Open Mic, singers can perform 'a cappella', or to the accompaniment of their choice.
3. As usual, monologues, brief scenes, poems, spoken word are welcome. (Must be under 5 mins in length - no exceptions!)
4. First time observers, and non-performing listerners/audience members are always welcome!
5. Reserve your spot now, and the meeting link will be sent to you by 3:00pm on Thursday, April 30.
~Spread the word and tell your friends. "If you haven't been, you haven't been!"
Upcoming:
Annual Acting Presentation: Saturday, June 27, TBA
Annual Vocal Presentation: Sunday, June 28, TBA
