No piano lessons on Monday this week.  Hope everyone has a great Labor Day!  (I'm still waiting on more ice bucket videos!)

The first ice bucket challenge!

Kaylin was the first to get me her video!  She did the ice bucket challenge last week. Here she is...

Great job girl!

Ice Bucket Challenge

My sister challenged me to complete the ALS ice bucket challenge this weekend.  My challenge is to all of my piano students!  You have 24 hours to complete your challenge.  Send me your videos!

Good luck!

Great 1st week!

What a great first week of lessons!  I enjoyed seeing everyone again and welcoming a few new faces.   We spent this week catching up and reviewing what we learned last year or through the summer.    I am working on goals for each student, and we will go over them this week during lessons.  I will also be talking with several students about the fall competitions.  Please help your students get in the habit of practicing!  My practice suggestions a posted in the policy section of the blog. 

Remember:  Practice shows improvement!!

One thing I introduced several students to this week is a great app for iPad and android tablets. It's called My Note Games. My students loved it!  It is a free app, but does have some in-app purchases for additional levels.  This app is great for any students who read music on the staff to review and improve there music reading abilities. 

Remember to practice!  See you all next week!

New Fall Lessons
