Day: July 16, 2021

What a FUN station day!! Thank you all for a great day and a great semester! No class next week. You have two weeks to refine your child’s composition intro, performance, and bow at the end. Recital Rehearsal on May 3rd, normal class time. Recital is May 7th at 8:30am [...]

Okay, we are skidding into the finish line with Let’s Play Music and it’s okay if things are feeling a little like a whirlwind. Just keep plugging along and if you can only get your child to play one thing, focus on their composition. Break it down into pieces and [...]

Hard work today in class! If your kiddo is struggling to practice at home PLEASE consider a private lesson with me to help them catch up. Our recital is coming up and we want your kiddos to be confident on Bagatelle Bridges, Russian Sailors Dance, AND the composition. Also have [...]

Private lessons went FANTASTIC!!! Your kiddos made a ton of progress on their compositions and I’m working hard to type them up now. Check your email in the next few days to get a nice copy of their first draft you can practice together at home. Wow! What a fun [...]

Thank you parents for coming today! If you missed class or need clarification on any part of the homework, check out this playlist of super short videos to explain each song/theory assignment. Even though the students cannot play all three parts of New World at the same time, you (the [...]
