Spring and Summer Update

Congratulations to Nicholas and Leah for coming in 1st and 2nd in the Spring Practice Competition. Everyone involved in the competition made great progress and I hope you keep up those good practice habits!

Also, I'd like to welcome Josh, 15 to piano. He's off a very serious start and progressing quickly.

And to all my Monday students, we will not be having lessons this coming Monday due to the holiday. Have a happy 4th!

Welcome Back!

With Christmas behind us and the snow and ice slowly melting, it's time to begin piano lessons again! I hope everyone enjoyed their break and had plenty of time to spend with family and friends and play in the snow! Lessons begin this week for Tuesday and Wednesday students and due to the ice storm, next week for the Mondays! I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Piano Recital Info

Here's a few more details about the recital:
Date: Thursday, December 9th
Time: 7:00pm
Place: Oakside Baptist Church, 1921 Hamilton Road, LaGrange, Ga 30240 (right across from Troup high school), main auditorium
Dress: Something nice, no blue jeans!
Bring: 1-2 dozen cookies for the reception afterwards, cameras, video cameras, and all the friends and family you can think of!

Make sure you're practicing your songs at least 3 times a day. When you practice, imagine you're playing in front of an audience, and try to practice in front of as many people as you can between now and the recital.

It's beginning to look a lot like...a piano recital!

It's that time of year again when it's time to start thinking piano recital thoughts! Just a few details to mark on your calendars:

What: Christmas Piano Recital
When: December 9th, 2010
Where: Oakside Baptist Church
Time: 7:00pm

Over the next couple weeks start thinking of songs you would like to play for the recital. They can be old favorites that you've already learned this year or a new song that you've just started. Either way, as soon as you decide let me know so I can put you down for it. The first one who asks for a specific song gets it!

It's that time of year...

It's that time of year when the weather gets cooler, summer vacation is over, and more and more people are starting to think about piano lessons! A very special welcome to Hope, 9, Landen, 6, Leah, 8, and Kaylee, 8 who all started piano lessons this month! I'm looking forward to teaching you throughout the journey you've just begun.

Welcome, welcome, welcome!

I hope everyone has been enjoying their summer and getting plenty of time to play outside in the sun. When it gets too hot out, think of that as a good time to practice the piano. I want to take this opportunity to welcome Nicholas, 7, and John, 4 to piano lessons. They both started lessons in July and are off to a great beginning.

He's Here!

Riley Sawyer Reed finally arrived on May 3rd, 2010 at 2:21pm. He weighed 8lbs. 3 oz. and was 20 inches long. Thanks to all my students for being so understanding during the crazy week he was born, and to my mom for taking over and teaching for me. I hope everyone enjoys their summer vacation and I look forward to seeing you again the first week of July. If you have any changes to make or add to your summer schedule, let me know!
