It's Summer!

The start of a new season is a great time to start or come back to piano. (Do I say that about every time of year? Of course!) A fresh season is a wonderful time to begin something new, or to rededicate yourself to something that has slipped away.

The start of a new season is a great time to start or come back to piano. (Do I say that about every time of year? Of course!) A fresh season is a wonderful time to begin something new, or to rededicate yourself to something that has slipped away.

For those considering beginning lessons, it is a great time to get started so that music practice and enjoyment can be established as we head into the next school year.

For those continuing lessons, now is the time to cement that regular practice schedule that will carry you through the year so you can enjoy hearing the steady improvement that comes with regular playing!

It's also a great time to take a few minutes to think about your musical goals. Is it to get to the next level in a method book? To improve a specific technique? To try out a new genre of music?

Add to those goals one to spend at least a few minutes each day sightreading.  Ask me how to make that happen!

I am working to add once-a-month group lessons on Saturdays for interested students.

I am working to add once-a-month group lessons on Saturdays for interested students.  

With online lessons, these group lessons are a viable option for additional ways to interact, cement skills, and enjoy playing for others.

These lessons would be offered as a supplement to regular weekly private lessons, and would be small groups (four students) matched by level. Classes would be 60 - 90 minutes, and include a wide variety of musical games, ear-training activities, cooperative written work, white board work, and flashcard activities, etc.  
 

In addition, there will be a low-key performance opportunity for each student during each class. This will give students a way to increase their performance frequency in a very friendly and non-threatening environment.

Another plus of the group lesson is that students can have fun learning about and making music together. I believe this can help keep students interested in studying music by showing that it can indeed be, like sports and games, an interactive activity.
