Kings and Queens

Our E-FISH-ent Practice Event has inspired Kenny to draw some King and Queen Fish pictures for me.  They will go on the wall in the Bemus Point Studio.

E-FISH-ent Practice Event

We started the piano year with a Practice Event called E-FISH-ent.

 These are the fun decorations that have adorned the Lakewood and Bemus Point Piano studios for the last month.

The blue square is the water waiting for the fish ponds to be added.

  Found these puzzles at the Dollar General.  They were perfect for our event.

A Painting For You Mrs. Robison!

Dani came to her first lesson this Fall with this painting she made for me.  Dani and her friend spent some time painting at her house and keeping Mom busy with the cleanup afterwards.  But what a great time she had and I get the benefits of their fun.  Pretty awesome, Dani!  By the way, she likes purple.

Cindy's Piano Studio Welcomes New Student

Last week Cindy's Piano Studio Lakewood welcomed Ida to piano lessons.  Ida will soon turn six years old and is very excited about learning to play the piano.  "I like the way the piano sounds." was her comment when I asked why she wanted to learn to play piano. Ida has had her first lesson in which she learned how to sit correctly at the piano.  She is practicing her "great pose" here:

Tweety was never concerned that he would fall off of Ida's head as Ida was awesome at performing her great pose.

Ida's books for learning music are the fun Faber My First Piano Adventures.  

Ida likes to dance, play tennis, soccer, and swim.  We are going to have great fun in piano lessons with Ida!

Some More End-of-Book Piano Recitals!

Congratulations to Lillian and Eliza on finishing their Alfred Premier 2A piano books.  

Lillian had her end-of-book piano recital on July 23rd and Eliza had her piano recital on July 30th.

They are both promoted to level 2B in the Fall.  Over the summer they will be preparing pieces for fun.

The Skinny Stick Me

Some students are just so creative!  I love how he drew me as a skinny stick figure at the piano.  I hope I can live up to his expectations of me!  He drew this on his own with no coaching from anyone. He just wanted to draw a picture I guess.
