Duets-Wow I am so excited about all the duets going on this summer! The students have been working on their counting, and have been playing with the metronome to get a better sense of the beat. We have been using some great duet books, with jazz, patriotic songs, classical duets and contest winners duets, and also have been playing some single sheet duets such as Bluebird and The Knight’s Quest. Parents and siblings are playing duets, and I am loving it! I have downloaded a free metronome app and began showing them how that one works since that is most likely more like what they will use at home than one like mine bought with green stamps oh so long ago.
Backyard Studio-The new piano is in the studio! However after a piano is moved, it needs several weeks to get used to the humidity of a room and then be tuned (it sounds pretty terrible right now) so my target for changing over will be mid-August.
