Christmas is coming

After a flurry of the flu I think our family is on the road to recovery. I'm sorry for not posting the previous weeks. No excuses.

I have assigned all classes their Christmas recital song. Please practice this!! You are supporting your child's performance by having them prepared. It's my goal to make the Christmas recital a positive one. Just a reminder that it's at my studio and you are welcome to bring your family to celebrate with you. Unfortunately I do not have enough room for extended family members. In May the year end concert is for friends and family.
Next week I will be starting a new practice incentive. Stay tuned...

SBI - the songs this week are focusing on the left hand. Go slow as this side of the brain requires new connections. The kids are playing great and I have utmost confidence in their ability!
SBII - I only assigned phrase 1 of the new song. The a minor scale is with 2 chords now. Once the kids see the pattern this will be a snap for them.
MBI - The c major scale is very important to practise. The scales are the foundation of piano playing and composing. Enjoy the Christmas songs.
