Happy New Year!

Lessons begin next week - January 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. Students were asked to complete 2 weeks of practice during the 4 weeks of Christmas break.

Here is a "funny" for you from one of my up and coming students, Mequell Guidry. Thanks to her mom, Jessie for sharing it with me!

Mequell: Mom, are you trying to kill us with piano?
Mom: Yes! Guns and swords are too messy, so we thought we’d kill you with our piano.
Mequell: Well, shouldn’t you just drop it on us??

Please feel free to share any of these "funnies" with me! I enjoy them!

Students should be at between 400 and 500 points right not to be "on track". The goal for the year is 1,000 points by April 30th.
I gave a 1/2 sheet of paper to all students who came to Theory Classes. This is a guide for them to do extra credit work over the Christmas holiday. It includes Five -Finger-Patterns and Scales.
