Dear Fresno Music Academy & Arts Students and Parents,
I hope this letter finds you filled with the delight that music and arts bring
to our lives. It is with both joy and sadness that I share some news with you
today. After much consideration, I have decided to step down from my role as
the Office Manager at Fresno Music Academy & Arts.
Working with all of you has been an incredibly fascinating adventure, and
I want to express my deepest gratitude for the support, camaraderie, and
unforgettable moments we’ve shared throughout the last 7 years. Witnessing the
growth and progress of our talented students, both young and old, has been a
source of immense happiness for me. Your passion for music and dedication to
honing your craft has not only enriched my professional life but has also left a
lasting and positive impact on my personal journey.
I want to assure you that this transition is a positive one, and there are no
ill feelings behind my departure. Life is a series of chapters, and it’s time for me
to embark on a new one. However, the spirit of FMAA will continue to thrive
under the capable hands of our new managers.
I am pleased to announce that Emily will be taking over the reins at our
Tower location, while Camille will be doing the same at our North location. Bri
and Tori will be supporting them at the front desk, ensuring the smooth
operation of both locations. I have complete confidence in their abilities, and I
believe they are more than capable of “running the ship” and maintaining the
high standards we’ve set at Fresno Music Academy & Arts.
I want to again express my sincere thanks to each and every one of you
for your collaboration, dedication, and the beautiful memories we’ve created
together. Your passion for music has made our academy vibrant and unique.
Though my role as Office Manager may be changing, I am excited to
share that you will still see me around, as I will maintain my position as a voice
instructor at FMAA. I am eager to continue fostering the musical growth of our
students in this capacity.
As we journey through this transition, the words of the great musician
Miles Davis come to mind: “Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to
play like yourself.” Embracing change allows us to evolve and discover our true
potential. I am confident that this shift will usher in fresh opportunities for the
growth and success of FMAA.
Thank you once again for being a part of this magical musical family with
me. I look forward to seeing you all in the next chapter of our lives together.
Harmoniously Yours,
Allison Lanford
Former Office Manager
Fresno Music Academy & Arts
