spring fever is here

This is the time where EVERYONE begins to see the light at the end of the 'MAY' tunnel. for lpm the tunnel is May 1st (recital day). Try to stay on track. There are only 4 more lessons, two of which are parent days....YOU CAN DO IT! Just think, next semester "i only have to go once a month, the hard year is almost over."

My First Lets play music entry

I knew that once I committed to teaching lets play music I would be hooked!
It is the best thing I have ever done! I love seeing the development of my own children
as they PLAY music! All of the children I have had the opportunity to teach have been
Marvelous! I truly have a passion for teaching this....music theory gets lost in the repitition of
practicing the skill of whatever instrument a child is learning. This was true for my musical theory. I was so focused on learning the notes and timing, etc. that the meaning of the music, the why behind it was lost; only to be re-introduced through my oldest child while attending the lets play music class with him. There were many times I would sit in the class and think to myself..."wow! i wish i would have had this when i was younger" or "ooohhhh, that is what that is called" or that is what that is, etc. Whether your child goes on to be a fabulous skilled musician or simply has this curriculum introduced during their "music window" does not matter; they will both have a love for music and will develop some musical aptitude that will stay with them FOREVER~!
