Christmas Recital

My students did a great job at our Christmas Recital on the 19th and I wanted to hurry and post about it before the new year.  Each student played a Christmas song and another song they've been working on.  They all did awesome!  I'm so proud of them.  I just had one student who couldn't make it because of work conflict.

Great job everyone! :)

NoteWorks App

If you have an iphone or ipad, please try out an app called NoteWorks.  Besides being free, it's a great way for your students to practice note reading and much more fun than flashcards!   It was previously only available for the ipad, but now it can be used on an iphone!  Let your kids practice their note naming while your waiting in lines, trying to grocery shop, or wherever you may be and need them to settle down.  The free version only has one level, but is great for beginners.  The full version is only $4.99, though, which is how much you would spend on flashcards.  Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Here's the email I received regarding this fun app:

Ready to Come Back

Well after almost a year hiatus from piano teaching when Aubrey was born, I am back to teaching full swing this week!  I am excited to increase my clientele, as I had cut down to three students over that time.  I also look forward to updating this blog more frequently, so stay tuned........  :)
