What Have YOU Done to Keep Musically "In Tune" This Summer?

For us, here in Kansas, summer break is coming to a fast close for school age children.  Two weeks away for a school start!  It can't be!

Mid May, I had ended with our Studio Piano Recital and would be in the hospital the following week for major surgery.  Knowing that I would be needing to have a long recovery time, I armed my music students with quite an arsenal for independent summer practice.  

Everyone was sent home with some new music to sightread and some unique theory challenges.  All for the sake of competition!  Sneaky?  Probably.  Effective?  We shall see!

Each challenge sheet was created with 100 stars to fill in.  That meant that piano students have needed to complete a task or two a day in order to completely fill in their charts.  

"What's in it for them?" you ask - 

A trophy!

Stay tuned for our trophy winner highlights. . . .
