Contemporary Music....

As your child is preparing for the "OUT OF THE BOX" recital in May... continue to give added support to the works they are studying.  Contemporary music is difficult to learn because of the dissonance between keys.  It is incredibly beautiful when all put together, but until then it's incredibly hard to practice and keep motivated.  I love this semester because of the study of this music type last week Chammelia Zentz' piece gave me goose bumps....She only has one page learned, but it's truly ga great work!   Contemporary music is never boring to teach because not many students can play it!  So many people won't take the time to listen to the different complexity or tastes these works brings to their musical palate.  I love contemporary music, and I hope that you will take the time and  listen to the interesting melodies your child is playing.  Keep up the good work!
