Summer Fun!!-More to Come!
Which one will you choose? Take a look at tomorrows posting before you decide. You may be able to do more than one!
Learn the music of your country. Many of us learn the traditional repertoire without regard to what is being created in our own countries. Take the time to explore the musical output of where you came from!
Perfect your technique: Without the pressure of upcoming concerts, summer is a fine time to go that extra mile in perfecting those scales. Let’s fill in the scale chart this summer! You can do it!
Learn to sight read: Sight-read a wide variety of music: Sight reading and sight playing are skills that take time to develop. Learning how to read on the spot is a great skill. In small doses, take the time to learn how to sight read every single day over the course of several weeks. I recommend Frederick Harris Music's Four Star Sight Reading and Ear Tests by Boris Berlin and Andrew Markow .
Pick out songs by ear: Music students can develop their musical ear by picking out the notes to their favorite songs. Intermediate and advanced students can try to pick out harmonies and accompaniment patterns to complement the melody. Music students who want to practice chording can do an internet search on "[insert title] + chords]."

Did you know...PIANO LESSONS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Music plays an important part in the lives of people. Everyone can learn and benefit from the study of music. There is musical potential in every individual and like all potential, it should be developed to its fullest. Music can connect us to our history, tradition and heritage while providing a constructive use for leisure time.
The study of music aids in mental, physical and personal needs. Music is a uniquely powerful means of involving and integrating the activities of both the right and left halves of the brain, combining the rational and the aesthetic.
There is a proven correlation between musical study and the following:
Muscular Development: It improves a child's small motor skills, hand-eye coordination and over-all physical coordination.
Increased Listening Ability: This helps to increase the attention span, concentration, and long and short term memory.
Increased Primary Mental Abilities: (verbal, perceptual, number, and spatial) This sharpens a child's communication, critical thinking and problem solving skills. He or she learns to understand, interpret and use symbols in new contexts.
Creative Potential: This promotes awareness of student's capabilities using imagination and responsibility. They learn to work for and cooperate with others.Through participation in music, children learn the gratification of work shared and challenges met. It helps your child learn how to learn.
Reaching your full potential through the power of music!
