Today is Wednesday...so since my kids have lessons today, they are practicing away! Oh, the beautiful sounds of MUSIC!  I have two middle school boys that are learning to play.  They are wonderful musicians, but get frustrated as all kids do sometimes!  
My practicing tip for boys- play it like a video game! If you make a mistake or "die", go back to the beginning and try to play the line slow and accurate with out "dying".  They pass the "level" when they make it to the end of the line with no mistakes!  Then they can go on to the next level...or line!  If they "die" on that level, they just go to the beginning of that line.
It's amazing how that simple concept changes everything!l...especially if they enjoy beating a challenging video game! 
Good Luck all you amazing pianists!

I am so excited to start our group music class- Little Musicians! I'm getting the lessons ready and some surprises, too!  It's gonna be loads of fun! Invite your friends as we need more students if we are going to start in November! 
I would consider a Thursday morning class as well if there is an interest- I know some kids have preschool on Friday mornings.  Just need some feedback!  
Have a Great day!
