 Sylvia Prior, born in Los Angeles, California on March 14th 1922 passed away peacefully on August 9th 2013 in Ventura, California.Sylvia taught accordion and piano in Los Angeles and later in Oxnard for nearly 60 years, carrying on the business her father started in 1917. She loved teaching music and took great pride in knowing that she had touched the lives of countless students during her career. Sylvia was also closely involved with the Accordion Federation of North America (AFNA) in various executive positions for the association over many years. The most important thing in Sylvia's life, however, was her family, especially her two daughters. Sylvia was a devoted mother who taught by example the importance of kindness, generosity and compassion. She was one of a kind and will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Sylvia is survived by her daughters Adrian Jo Guidotti (David Ross) and Sylvana Louise Guidotti, M.D. (Kevin Wells), as well as her sister Patricia Kessen (Willard) and her nephew Jeffery Kessen. She is also survived by many devoted friends and her faithful dogs Gina and Scout. Sylvia was predeceased by her big sister Dorothymae Nelsen, husbands Tito Guidotti and Richard Westhouse, and her niece and goddaughter Dorothy Lee Pabst. The family would like to thank the physicians and staff who cared for Sylvia at the Ventura County Medical Center and Victoria Care Center, especially Doctors James Helmer, Joseph Esherick and Jacqueline D'Orazio. The family is also grateful to Westwood Home Care and Sylvia's primary caregiver Mida who enabled her to remain in her home with her pets for her final years. Services will be held on Saturday August 17th at 11am at Santa Clara Mortuary and Cemetery, 2370 North H Street, Oxnard, CA. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Sylvia's memory to the Sisters of Notre Dame, California Province, 1776 Hendrix Avenue, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360, Attn: Advancement Office or to your favorite charity. |

| Shuang Ma, student of CNIMA J.Mornet music school performs Revelation composed by Sergei Voytenko. Yvon Body of CNIMA writes: This young Chinese woman has been an accordion teacher for children in Beijing, while she was studying China’s Arts and Traditions at University. After she had obtained a degree in that subject, she decided to dedicate herself to accordion, to reach a high instrumental level and to do a training course with the aim of a Master's degree in teaching. Ma Shuang travelled to France in December 2012 to study at the CNIMA J.Mornet music school for a full-time classical accordion training course (in American plan) over one year. Shuang achieved stunning progress, so much so, that after only six months of courses Jacques Mornet, the founder, and Nathalie Boucheix, the manager of the centre, presented her in international competitions. The video above is her performance at the international competition Montrond-les-Bains in 2013. CNIMA also prepared Ma Shuang for selection at HEMU, High Music School of Lausanne (Switzerland), educational partner of the CNIMA. After her successful application, Ma Shuang is now studying towards a Master's Degree (by 2014) with accordion option pedagogy, diploma recognized by the authorities of her country. Ma Shuang demonstrates that CNIMA J.Mornet teaches buttons and piano keyboard accordions equally. |
