I spent last night reading through a book of beautiful Christmas solos that I think you will enjoy! Christmas At Our House by Michael Dulin (Alberti Publishing) is a collection of early advanced pieces appropriate for recitals, Christmas parties, contemporary worship services, or just playing for pleasure. Everyone loves playing and hearing Christmas carols, and my students are always motivated

Review: Purple by Dror Perl

2011-11-04T15:27:00.000-04:00

Disclosure: I received a copy of Purple in return for an honest review. No other compensation was received. Anyone who teaches middle schoolers knows the challenge of finding music that sounds contemporary and inspires but is still manageable for intermediate-level students. Dror Perl's color book series offers a superb solution! The series contains three books, Red, Blue, and Purple. I shared

Teaching Sight Reading: This Works For Me

2011-10-07T09:36:00.000-04:00

After years of making do by grabbing old lesson books for students to sight read from or even trying to write my own sight-reading exercises, I've stopped trying to reinvent the wheel and purchased a full complement of sight-reading books to keep in the studio. I decided on Sight Reading And Rhythm Every Day by Helen Marlais and Kevin Olson and got all 10 levels. I'm not using them as they are

A Lasting Influence

2011-10-02T23:29:00.000-04:00

A few days ago, one of my former private teachers passed away at too young an age. I went through several very difficult experiences during the time I studied with him. While his musical influence was immeasurable, his personal influence was certainly one of the reasons I made it through those dark days with my sanity and faith intact. It was just four years. How long will some of my piano

Piano Parent Tip: Know and Respect Your Teacher's Make-Up Policy

2011-09-05T08:00:00.005-04:00

Graphic by Marco Buonvino Labor Day seems like an appropriate time to take on a subject that creates additional labor for piano teachers: make-up lessons. There's a wide continuum of policies among piano teachers about making up missed lessons. On one end is the teacher who will bend over backwards to make parents happy, even if it means giving up personal time and making financial sacrifices

Lately, my days feel short and my to-do lists are as long as my arm. School has started, parenting responsibilities now include homework and transportation to activities, regular lessons have resumed, and regular organ practicing is back on track. This year's personal priority is to be more fit, and that means regular trips to the Y and more time with the munchkin on the tennis court. All of this

It's that time of year again when I spend a few days pulling out my hair trying to juggle the needs of my own child and a studio full of others. I've written before about the woes of scheduling lessons. It's my least favorite part of piano teaching because I want to please all of my students and still retain a workable schedule for myself and my child. It's just a messy process. Thankfully, it

Piano Parent Tip: Pay Your Teacher On Time

2011-08-01T09:46:00.000-04:00

One of the most common topics on piano teacher forums or when piano teachers chat is "How do I get my parents to pay on time?" Piano teachers lament the late payments because they depend on their teaching income to be able to pay their own bills on time. Imagine if your monthly paycheck came to you in bits and pieces throughout the month, or part of it was delayed until the next month. It would

A couple of weeks ago, I shared a link to a beautiful blog I had discovered, Nancy Williams' Reflections On A Grand Passion.

The more exposure a student has to a concept, and the more different contexts that exposure entails, the more likely he will remember it well.

Am I failing my daughter in some way by not signing her up for tumbling or chess camp?

When your foot is short and your teacher insists that you keep your heel on the floor, you have to lift your toes higher than an adult does to clear the pedal fully. Add to the problem the fact that my piano sits on casters making the pedals about 2.5 inches higher off of the floor than without them.
