New Piano Student, Jax

Cindy's Piano Studio welcomes Jax to the Bemus Point studio

Cindy's Piano Studio welcomed Jax to piano lessons on January 4, 2017.  Jax just turned five years old.  Jax will be using the Faber's My First Piano Adventures to begin with.  During his first lesson he learned about the "great pose" which just means he learned how to sit at the piano.  In the picture he is balancing Tweety on his head for 10 seconds.  He did a great job and Tweety didn't have to fly off because he never dropped him even when I asked him to turn his head towards the camera!

E-FISH-ent Practice Winners

Congratulations to Kenny and Sam. They are the 1st and 2nd prize winners of our E-FISH-ent practice event. Kenny is holding "Half Note", a goldfish, which he assures me he will give me updates on his well being. This week Half Note made it safely to his home and only bumped into the walls a few times before becoming at ease.

Sam is holding a huge bag of Swedish Fish which may not be complete gone as Halloween candy came soon after. He may or may not share some with his sister, Dani.

Musical Flower

This week in Cindy's Piano Studio Bemus Point a musical flower was created.  Kenny was having fun during one of his sister's lesson by creating a flower for me with chalk on the chalkboard table.  I love his creativity and sense of excitement and wonder.

"Chalknotes"

I love these "chalknotes" from my creative students.  While waiting for their lesson, they draw me notes.

Prize Winners Announced for E-FISH-ent Practice Event

Congratulations to Kenny, Sam, and Jack!

1st Prize  

Kenny was chosen from those having three fish in their ponds.

2nd Prize

Sam was chosen from those having three or two fish in their ponds.

3rd Prize

Jack was chosen from those having three, two, or one fish in their ponds.

Everyone not chosen in the drawing received a small box of Swedish Fish Candy.  This is the first time I've had all boys win the prizes.

Notes to the Teacher

 As part of our E-FISH-ent Practice Event student were to write a note to me on their assignment sheet to prove that they read the assignment.  Most of them wrote their notes on the assignment sheet; however, three of them thought a special note to me was in order!  I love it!

E-FISH-ent Practice Event Ponds

I wanted to capture the ponds that each student created for this event.  There were two ponds, one in Lakewood and one in Bemus Point (blue tissue paper over poster board).  These are all the ponds in one place.  

 
Dani, Eliza A, Emma, Gloria, Kenny, Lillian, Sam, and Taj all had three fish in their ponds.  Alex, Eliza D, Jack, and Mallory had one or two fish in their ponds.






How did they get the fish? By accomplishing three practice tasks for three weeks.  Each week if they accomplished the three tasks, they put a fish in their pond.


This week they find out who won the drawings.
Three fish - a live goldfish and tank
Two fish - a large bag of Swedish Fish Candy
One fish - an activity and coloring book of Dori.
Everyone will receive a prize who isn't chosen from the drawings. They will find out what it is at their next lesson. Hint...it's fish related.  hee hee
