Beginners,
We have a wonderful group of students in our Beginner class this year. Even a few brave moms have joined us. I salute you for taking this step of learning beside your children. I hope we continue to laugh together and that this becomes a special time of bonding with your kids. Remember to take advantage of your books, they have lots of teaching pages that will reiterate what we cover in class. Some of you have even ventured into YouTube land to take a virtual lesson or two. This can also be a fantastic educational tool. Practice is invaluable! Even 10 minutes per day will begin to build your muscles and your understanding of this new language. Intermediate We had a rough year last year and you may feel underprepared for book 2. If you have a particular question please ask. Here in the comment section you can make a note and we will address it both here and possibly in class as well. Meanwhile, take advantage of the scales in the book to refresh your knowledge of fingerings and strengthen your ability around notes that you may still be struggling with. Seniors Congratulations for attempting some challenging new pieces. I hope we can look forward to showing off your hard work at concerts this year. Do make yourself the promise of practicing a little longer this year, and use the listening tracks to work up to playing at speed and in time.

Thanks for your patience as we've had a particularly difficult start to the year. You will note that the recordings of Nimrod, and Pirates of the Caribbean are now linked.
In an effort to boost our numbers we are keeping registrations open through October 15. Thanks for all your tireless efforts in letting others know about us!! |
