October Recap

October was such a fun month at the studio!    We started our first big practice challenge - Pumpkin up the Practice.  It was great to see how into the challenges everyone got and I definitely noticed the practicing improve from everyone!   Plus how fun it was to see all the pumpkins slowly get turned into jack-o-lanturns - everyone is so creative!

October also saw the return of our Star Students board.
Each month students who complete a book, finish their own personal challenge, or go above and beyond during their practicing will receive a star!










We work hard in the studio at each lesson.  I love having one on one lessons with each student so that I can make the lesson suit exactly what it is they need to work on at that moment.  Here is a little peak at a student working on finding C Position and all the C's on the piano.  Little character erasers are the perfect size for piano keys!







We also get to have a little fun:

Looking at our November plans:  Everyone will be working on their Christmas song to prepare for the studio recital on Sunday December 1 at 2:30.   As we get closer to the recital we will be also be working on our stage presence and the performance as a whole - getting to the piano, bowing, and walking away.
