This week I have been an active participant in Southern Methodist University Institute for Piano Teachers in Dallas, TX. It has been wonderful to be surrounded be the top piano teachers in the country as presenters and colleagues. I look forward to implementing new ideas into my teaching this Fall! Fall lessons begin the week of August 27.

The Around the World Piano Celebration was absolutely wonderful! I hope to try this again in a couple of years! Students dressed in native costumes to perform a stylistic work representing their country. These countries included Kenya, Mombasa, Egypt, Poland, Russia, Scotland, France, Great Britain, Spain, China, Korea, and the USA. Parents brought food from the representative countries.
Summer Session Lessons begin Tuesday June 12. Summer Session A is already filled. Summer Session B begins July 17. Regular Fall Lessons begin the week of August 27, 2012. The annual Pensacola Music Teachers Association Sonata Contest was held March 17, 2012 on the University of West Florida campus. While I only entered a few students this year, two of them won first place for their division level! Congratulations to Haley Kummer and Ashley Kummer! Over 450 students participated in this competition.

The new year began with great excitement and the month of January is almost gone! I am excited at the way my piano studio is shaping up after my maternity leave. My students are working and making great progress. I have started something new in my studio with a couple of my students. They are coming twice a week and what a difference it is making in their progress! As time slots become available, I will offer this to more students who are serious about their piano study.
I am looking forward to performing in the CBMC Piano Duo Concert April 1, 2012 in Niceville, FL. I'm playing a movement from a piece I have loved since high school. It is the Suite Op. 17 Romanza by Rachmoninov. Gorgeous! The other selection is the exciting Danzon Cubano by Aaron Copland! Other pieces will be performed as well, but this is my contribution! |
