Every student is individually taught. As they progress in their studies they can advance into ensemble playing. This takes good concentration and dedication to fellow musicians. It provides enjoyment and entertainment as well as  an excellent source for rhythm study.

  • Assignment Books: Please see that you have a spiral notebook, standard size for any lessons you may be taking. These are used for storing a record of your progress and practice times as well as helping you to know what you need to practice. Parents can write any concerns they may have for the teachers in them. They are also a good source for parents wanting to know how  their students are doing. They are great progress reports.These are used at every lesson. Parents are encouraged to look at these books weekly.
  •  
    Note: Our reporting practicing times has improved. Students are stepping it up with longer practice times. Hurray!!!! 

     


    Practice Times:  We are still keeping track of practice minutes. Please help your student keep track of all times they have practiced. Log them in their assignment notebooks, and parents please sign or initial total practice times each week. We track them weekly. The top percentage will be given awards in this catagory at the recital.

    Piano Tuning: If your piano has not been tuned in a while please get it tuned. Playing on an un-tuned piano will affect the students developing ear. If you already have a technician, call to have this taken care of. If you need one, I can work some of you into my schedule at this time. Piano Tunes Academy students receive a discount on my tunings. Pianos should be tuned annually at the very least. This will vary on how long it has been since the last tuning, how many and how often pianists are playing the instrument. Keeping up with tuning is also important to your piano. If you let go for too long of time it can be difficult or even impossible for it to hold its tuning. Your piano can loose its value. 

    If I am unable to work in your tuning, I will help you find a reputable tuning technician.
