New Contest

We will be starting a new contest today! Students, you will learn in your lesson how to earn points for the month of February! This week, you will learn interesting facts about composers. Don't forget to write down your practice times each day this week. Good luck!

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 :)
