Attention Current LPM 2nd year parents (current yellow arrows students): Mandatory parent orientation meeting is coming up this month on Tuesday, February 25th. Because success in Let's Play Music is better if parent has attended the parent orientation meeting, I offer 2 times: 12:00 noon and 8:30pm. At this meeting you will be learning how to register for your classes online and how to participate in 3rd year most effectively. You will need my registration code to complete this New and EFFICIENT registration online (it is SLICK!). The registration/studio fee is the only fee you pay to me to register for Lets play Music. My Studio fee is $30 for keyboard years and $20 for 1st years with a Family Studio Fee (2 or more children $45) and is due at the parent orientation meeting. Once the registration or studio fee is paid, I am then allowed to give you my access code. Materials fees are separate moving forward and will be paid to Let's Play Music online and materials will be delivered to the teacher. You will receive your CD's a few weeks before class begins and student booklets and piano song books will be handed out the 1st day of class: Thursday, August 14 2014. Looking forward to this new process!

Frozen helps out LPM teachers

So the movie Frozen, hit theaters with a bang! As I sat laughing and totally entertained, I couldn't help think of how easily I would be able to weave 'Building a Snowman', into my Orange Roots classes. We Build Snowman in Music all the time! Ask any Orange Root Student how to play The Red Chord and what it looks like and they will tell you "SNOWMAN!!!" That is what teaching Let's Play Music is all about: having fun while teaching about musical concepts and skills in the most creative ways and then students, in turn, have fun while they are learning! I love building Snowmen!!!
