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.
