APRIL NOTES

CONGRATULATIONS TO TRENT PORTERFIELD!  He won “Best Piano Solo” during a recent HISD competition with his jazz ensemble at his school. Way to go Trent!

CONGRATULATIONS TO CHLOE ALTEN!  She played at her school’s talent show, and I hear it went great!

 

HAPPY!  This song and several other pop songs have been very popular during the last few months at the studio. The songs from Frozen have been a big hit, as well as some of the chart toppers like A Thousand Years and Counting Stars. The students have also been working on piano standards such as Pink Panther, Fur Elise and Linus and Lucy. We are having fun, and working hard!

 

SUMMERTIME!

Students up to level 5:  During the summer  in addition to our current books we will work on duets. This gives me a chance to focus on counting, and also gives the student a chance to get the feel of playing along with another person.  It also works on the skill of not stopping while playing a song, which is helpful when performing.

Students level 5 and above:  We will begin trying possible performance songs for the fall performance.  We usually do a duet or two just to keep up the counting skills and to be comfortable playing with someone else.

All policies and lesson times remain the same during the summer.

 

NEW CALENDAR PAGE: The website now has a page that has the dates of the fall performance and also the days when there are no lessons.
