I am very excited and a little bit nervous to see how this summer goes. Usually I don’t teach in the summer because Flagstaff gets so few warm days that they are better spent outside. Now that we’ve moved to Mesa I have discovered that with a little bit of planning, summer lessons could turn into great musical experiences that we normally don’t have time for during the busy school year. Piano Camp reinforces all of the things a beginning student is trying to assimilate, but with friends and games. Me Time explores composing or how to play the latest popular song. An Organ class or lessons focuses on learning to play the hymns so that you can find joy in using your talent to serve others. And my personal favorite–Partner lessons to learn a fun duet with a friend.
If you haven’t already checked out the scheduling feature of this website wander over there. You can sign up for as much or as little as you want–when you want. The beauty of this, when it comes to summer and learning, is that it works around vacations and other summer plans. You’ll come for lessons when you’ve had time to prepare for them. This makes Mom and Dad happy and you’ll get so much more out of it.
Happy Summer!
This Friday at 5 we’re having a Piano Party! This is our end of the year performance that celebrates the fact that you can play the piano and it’s a blast. May is too crazy with all of the end-of-school activities and we need some time to enjoy all of our hard work before that hits. Students get to wear whatever they want and we get very creative in how they want to perform their pieces. Sometimes we use our music, sometimes we don’t. Aside from the performances, we’re having a Rhythm Mingle mixer and a Notation Relay complete with water balloons! Plan to get involved =D If you’re thinking about starting lessons with me or just want to get a little taste of what Piano Camp might be like please join us.
