Welcome to our fall session!
Summer was a busy, fun time in the studio! I enjoyed hearing about everyone's adventures, vacations, and camps, and can't wait to hear the same from returning students. We also managed to get a lot of learning in! Some highlights this past summer were:

• Reinforcing our understanding of Middle C and Treble C position with "It Smells Like Treble" starring Maxwell A. Skunk
• Completing four different piano "adventures" with Cami the Camel
• Collectively students memorized over 20 songs and composed some beautiful compositions that you can check out on Facebook!
  

Here is a sneak peek of some things we will be working on during the fall:

• Using the surfer themed "Cob Duster" to brush up on skills we may have forgotten over the summer
  
• The "Party Popper" and "Gold Mine" games to help learn intervals and tonic and dominant notes
• Christmas music will begin in October!
  
• Our fall piano recital will be held October 27th at 6:30pm at Rosemont Baptist Church.
  

I've planned fall in the studio to give students performance opportunities to work towards as well as developing new skills and expanding their repertoire. I know after a busy, happy summer it's hard to get back into a routine of school, homework, sports, and piano practice. If I can be of assistance in any way please let me know!

See you in the studio,
Noelle

So Summer is Flying By...

Summer is flying by in the piano studio! Heather, Ava, and Neely all joined the studio in the last few weeks. Heather took lessons back in high school and is ready to focus on piano again, while Ava and Neely are both taking piano lessons for the first time. I love teaching beginners and we're already having a blast together at lessons.
Current students have stayed busy this summer with our "Summer Adventures with Cami the Camel". They've enjoyed racing their camels across the desert by finishing several challenges which have included memorizing songs, composing their own piece, and playing for family and friends. They've come up with some pretty incredible original compositions...and some very origianl song titles including, "Voyage of the Icelandic Vikings," "Mysteries of the Deep," "When France Fell," and "Breaking Free--Not the High School Musical Version." Be sure to check out our Facebook page so you can hear some of their compositions.
