We're Cook'n in February!!!!!

This week students began decorating their pan of cupcakes but without the traditional frosting and sprinkles. We are decorating these cupcakes with note values and rhythms. Once we complete this review of time signatures and counting, everyone will receive a sweet Valentine. You guessed....a cupcake!!!!

The New Year....

The first lesson in January, students set a goal for improving their talents. Some students decided to work on establishing a more consistent practice week or perhaps balancing their practice time better while others went to work trying to improve their rhythm, notes or expression. Each week, students gave me a report on their progress toward or away from their goal. Over all, this was a productive exercise. I've been pleased with the newly acquired habits, work ethic and positive attitudes I've observed. Be proud! All students deserve a pat on the back for trying to make a change toward improvement.
