November 2016

At our group meeting we discussed how to better utilize our Piano Explorer Magazine.  Some suggestions are:

1.     Make a Youtube playlist of the music suggested in your magazine.  Play the music while you are reading, studying, doing household chores.  This give you an opportunity to hear the music several times!
2.    Try to play the music in the magazine and have questions ready for your private lessons.  This gives you an opportunity to be your own teacher.  What is the time signature? key? notes? rhythms? phrases, etc.
3.    Make reading the magazine routine.  Put it as one of your tasks on your calendar!
4.    Families do one quiz per week and discuss at the dinner table

We are preparing for Thanksgiving and Christmas music this month.  We will also have the opportunity to play at Aspen Ridge and Sombrillo Nursing Home.  When I have a date, I will let you all know.  Happy Thanksgiving!
