Pizza Party

I was very proud of my 13 students who made it to the pizza party. (David, Emma Claire, Kevin, Megan, Jonathan, Brian, Zeke, Ella, Shaylea, Abigail, Matthew, Hannah, Aaron) I hope you all had a great time! Congrats to David for getting the 1st-place prize. He came to his lesson a couple weeks ago with all 6 of his songs MEMORIZED! He was working very hard to win, as were a few other students! Emma Claire and Kevin came in at a very close 2nd Place!

For those students who are in level 2 or above, we have begun to work on duets for the annual Duet Night! I am looking at the beginning of October for the recital, but will let you know a final date soon.

Welcome!

I would like to welcome Jessica to my piano studio! She has been taking from another teacher who is shutting down her studio. Jessica already performed at my recital with only one lesson with me! Bravo.

There are several students who have already made their goal of 75 points! There are a few competing for the grand prize as well:) The following students made it: Megan, Jonathan, David, Matthew, Kevin, Emma Claire, Ella and Brian. There are still two more weeks remaining in which to earn points, so keep working!

Great Recital!

Great job at the recital! Each and every one of my students did their very best! For those that made minor errors, they kept going and the audience couldn't even tell! Congrats for a job well done :)

Contest

There are many students who are working very hard in my summer contest! I have decided to give a prize to the student at the pizza party with the most accumulated points. (This way, students don't quit once they reach 75. LOL) So far, Emma Claire, Megan and Matthew R are out in the lead. I told the students to try for 9 points per week to reach the goal of 75 by the end of July. The students who have reached this goal so far are: Matthew R, David, Hannah, Jonathan, Ella, Zeke, Megan, Emma Claire, Haley, Maddie, Brian and Kevin. The others just need to do a little catch up if they want to come to the pizza/ice cream sundae party on July 31st. Good luck to all :)

Congratulations Hannah and David

Hannah and David are off to a super practice start this summer! Hannah reached 52 songs on her learned list, thus putting herself on the "Learned List Hall of Fame." She is just about ready to be promoted to Level 2! David made it to 100 songs, earning himself a star beside his name. He was promoted to Level 3 this week. Way to go guys! Keep up the great practicing :)
