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

WANTED: Amazing Practice-ers!

Christmas break is over and we are back on our normal schedule! Let's face it...sometimes it is HARD to get back on a routine after a fun couple weeks with family, friends, way too much sugar, and a flexible routine. I miss all my students when my studio is closed over Christmas break, but it is hard for me to get back on a steady routine as well. That's why we're starting the year with a Wild West themed practice event! Over the next four weeks we're going to learn practice techniques that are both fun and efficient that will help aspiring pianists be successful all year long. Dust off your piano books and I can't wait to meet you at the Repetition Ranch this week!
