NOVEMBER COMPOSERS OF THE MONTH-THE SCHUMANNS

Robert and Clara Shumann, two famous composers that were married during the romantic period of music. Robert said his marriage to Clara was the turning point in his artistic career. His wife was his greatest inspiration in writing music in their early years of marriage. He wrote many touching songs expressing his great love for Clara. They had 8 children! Robert wrote his own children a collage of 43 pieces called the Album for the Young. Schumann's music is imaginative, whimsical, youthful, fresh and lively. Clara was a concert pianist, performing many of Robert's compositions. Her father was a famous piano teacher named Friedrich Weich, who taught Robert how to play. He also started teaching Clara at age 5. She played in public the first time at age 12 being a child prodigy. She was an outstanding pianist and also composer. One of her most famous compositions was Sonata in G, Variations on a Theme of Robert Shumann, Op. 20. She was an amazing woman, bearing and taking care of her 8 children with all her household responsibilities, giving concert tours, writing music, then taking care of Robert when he became mentally ill. Amazing!

JC BACH/September Composer of the month!

Ready to earn extra crystals? Who is JC BACH'S father? When was he born? Where was he born? What was one of his compositions? Earn an extra crystal for each question answered correctly!

FLASH THOSE FLASHCARDS!

Every student that can't say and play 40 note flashcards in 1 minute should be practicing hard on their flashcards every day. I like the student to find and play their landmark flashes first which includes: HC, LC, TC, BC, MC's, TG, and BF. Add 3rds next which are all the E's and A's. Then add 2nds, B's and D's, 4ths and 5ths, G's and F's. If there are struggles with flashing from Landmark Notes, use the old method which is Bass Clef 5 lines name those lines: G,B,D,F,A. Bass Clef 4 spaces name those spaces: A,C,E,G. Treble Clef 5 lines name those lines: E,G,B,D,F. Treble Clef 4 spaces name those spaces: F,A,C,E. Point and say notes on staff and then on the keys. The children will become better sight readers by knowing their notes on the music and if sight-reading becomes easy, they have mastered a skill that will make piano playing easier.

BACH TO PIANO WE GO!

Piano lessons will begin the week of September 2nd. I'm so excited to start back into our new fall schedule. Let's make this the best year ever. Remember to bring your new music, note and key signature flashcards, three ring binder, pencil and color pencils and a thumb drive. See you soon!

Does your child hate to practice? Be a piano practice influencer

I have been reading a superb book on influencing and changing people's behaviors. In the book there are many success stories about people that have helped others change their self defeating behaviors by influencing them to do good. Since this has worked in the corporate world, I have set out to change the attitude of our piano studio .


Every parent asks me the same question! How do I get my kids to practice? First, we need to look at the overall diagnosis of the behavior we want to change which is piano practice. We can't influence resistant and persistent behavior if we don't diagnose it. So what's influencing them to behave this way? Why don't they like to practice? Why do we have to force them or threaten to take privileges away if they don't practice?
These are the diagnosis questions to ask ourselves about our child's practice behavior: 1. Do they like it? 2. Are they personally able? 3. Do others motivate? 4. Do others enable? 5. Do things motivate? 6. Do things enable?
Ponder further: 1. Why don't they like it? Do we as a family make music more desirable and accessible our child? Do we influence our child in the following ways: Say "WE LOVE MUSIC" "MUSIC IS SO IMPORTANT", every time he practices, Will we watch live performances on Youtube of popular performers and talk about the performers skill that's required through practice to play that difficult work, Will we ask him how he would feel if that were him playing?, Will we play incredible (10+) music in the home and take an active interest in all forms of music, Will we watch movies say WOW, listen to the music doesn't it sound scary, sad, happy etc.

2. Why do they believe they can't do it? Is it because they haven't practiced? Is the repertoire too hard? Does practicing hurt their hands, neck or back? Many different areas of influence can be given. If your child can't do it because of non-practice see above for proper influencing techniques, If the study material is too hard or if they are hurting physically talk to me. Give your child a massage and listen to classical music or read a book at the end of their practice session. Your child would love the attention!

3/4. Do others motivate or enable child? Parents you pay for their tuition, but do you encourage them to bring their books, 3-ring binders, pencils and thumb drive to lessons every week? Do they have a quality, tuned instrument to practice on? Are you excited and positive when you drive them to lessons? IE: I'm so proud of you for taking piano lessons, you are going to be able to serve and make others happy with this talent, I know how excited you must be to go to lessons since you practiced so hard this week. Wait until Ms. Susan hears you! When we get home let's see if we can find your piano piece on you tube, itunes, let's record you playing your piece when you learn it really good and then let's put your recording on you tube. Friends enable? I'm sorry you would rather play with Johnny today instead of going to piano lessons, but when we get back let's call him over and show him what you learned today. Friends and sports might be enablers, however take control of the situation with powerful influencing skills. You can also make up a story to tell your child. IE: When I was a little boy I hated to practice, but my friend Henry loved to practice. I was lazy I would have rather played with my toys or watched T.V. Henry played with his toys and watched T.V. but he first practiced. Do you know what? To this day I wish I could play the piano and to be as good as Henry. Henry has been able to help many people and also his family by working hard when he was little practicing the piano! I wonder who do you want to be like? Keep the story going each week. Get a little more detailed. The best way to influence people is with a story! A good story needs a villain, a Hero, and a person that is in between that can't decide to choose right or wrong.

5. Do things Motivate? I love awards and rewards. I'm working hard on influencing the extrinsic reward system in the studio. Parents influence your children with my rewards. Wow, what did you get for practicing so hard, how many crystals did you get today, work on getting the AAA pin this year, I think you can get the 100% practice trophy this year let's set that as a goal, if you practice all week without being asked, I will make your favorite treat on Sunday etc. It would be OK to have your own reward system at home to influence your child's vital behavior changes if these awards are too overstimulating and is enabling your child's progress.

6. Do things enable? I have all the tools each student needs to become successful with their studies. Fun digital pianos with many different sounds and rhythms, beautiful scores of music, motivating games and enticing treats. I will be conscience of my over stimulation of these tools to not enable, but to influence practice.

I know every student can have successful practice this year. I know the results can be staggering if we will learn to influence our child's behavior to love music. Children love what parent's love. If it's important to you, it will be important to them. This year turn our hearts to music study. Let's have joy and love in the journey.

1st Year Spring Recital May 15th 5:00-6:00p.m.

"SOUNDS OF NATURE" RECITAL A SUCCESS!

I hope everyone enjoyed the recital as much as I did. The students performances were superb. There were a few stumbles of course because of nervous jitters, but overall the recital was fabulous. I was proud of the work they put into memorizing their piano pieces. This is a mark of excellence! Thank you parents for all your support! Of course with each and every recital, I find what I can improve upon, but I love challenging myself with different goals to keep our piano recitals fresh and alive. I loved the power point presentation that Emily and Ashley made. It was beautiful and fun. We'll have to do it again, but maybe instead of Emily and Ashley finding every picture, we can have help from each student. The biggest improvement we can make in our recitals are the ensembles. We really need all students that perform in an ensemble to be present at all of our ensemble practices. As you could see some of the groups knew their parts well and others did not. If we are going to play ensembles as a studio, students need to come to every rehearsal, and bring their music. I was without two conductor scores on Saturday because of children forgetting their music. I couldn't help que students in and out because of this. They also need to play with their metronome, count and listen to each other so we can all stay together. Playing ensembles are challenging, but are so good for the students. You ask why I continue to have the students play ensembles? I know how good they are for each piano student. They learn so much about themselves. They realize that it's not all about them. They have to have faith in each other to reach the goal of making the ensemble sound beautiful. It's hard work, students have to pay attention 24/7. Thank you again for attending the recital, It was truly an adventure!

PIANO AWARD PARTY 2008

Awards will be given at the end of the year piano party on May 21st, at 3:00pm. I will give a medal to everyone who passes their olympic tests, awards to all members of the AAA club, 100 days of practice club, 100% practice for both semesters club, Hymn club

I will then give an award to the student who has the most memorized pieces or pages this semester, an award to whomever can play their scales, arpeggios and cadences the best, and then the most prestigious award the MOST OUTSTANDING PIANO STUDENT OF THE YEAR. I choose this award based upon practice, obedience, memorization, technique, theory (piano olympics) and just being an overall joy to teach. If any of you have completed your star awards this year, you will receive a very special prize! LET ME KNOW IF YOUR CHILD HAS COMPLETED ANY OF THESE AWARD AREAS. THANKS!

"SIGHT READING SUMMER" Summer Piano Program 2008

PIANO OLYMPICS 2008/Testing 2nd week of May

What are piano Olympics? It is a program I have created to see how much the piano student has learned through the academic year. I test them on theory, technique, harmonization, and sight reading.

I will then give them the medal they earned whether it be bronze, silver or gold at our piano party on May 16th from 4-6pm. This will be the end of this semester's piano study. I will ensure every student knows what to expect at the Olympics. All student's will easily be able to pass if they study the material I give them. Make sure you help them with this at home so they fill comfortable with all the material.

PICTURES! PICTURES EVERYONE!

I need you to help your child submit their recital pictures immediately so I can start working on the slide show presentation for their performance. Please don't wait until a day before the recital, because I'm a novice at this and I don't really know what I'm doing. Any help would be appreciated.

TRY A LITTLE HARDER, TO DO A LITTLE BETTER!

Think of this every day before practicing.

PRACTICE MAKE PERFECT! The roll of the dice!

I have started a dice game with the students this month. What I do is roll the dice. Whatever number appears is how many times the student gets to play the section perfectly for a crystal. I have them play with the metronome making it even more challenging. I would like you to play this game with your child when practicing this month. Roll the dice, start with one section at a time, (preferably the hardest) then take two sections, then three and so on. Add the metronome, when they become more proficient. See who wins, the dice, or your child. Have a creative prize for them, if they can beat the dice!
