| MUSIC MONEY AND PARTIES! When a student plays their lesson assignment with perfection, they receive a music dollar. Twice a year a music party is held which involves playing a piece in front of their peers (thus receiving five more music dollars!), playing informative music games, and purchasing their choice of items. The items range from music socks, music shirts, music pens, music pencils, music tote bags, CD's, picks, tuners.....well, you get the idea! ABOUT OUR PROGRAM: As with any skill worth learning, a certain amount of "work" is involved. Most people use the word "practice" when the skill required involves a musical instrument (including the Voice). Those that perceive this "practice" time as being enjoyable learn at a much faster pace than students that perceive it as "work". It is with this in mind that we keep my lessons as enjoyable as possible, while still maintaining a serious attitude about the music. MUSIC RECITAL Once a year a formal recital is held. All friends and family members are welcome to attend. |
