    Adventures in Practicing: Getting Started

    So I am always telling my students how important it is to practice. Even when we are professional musicians we have to keep working on our craft. It's like a muscle, if you don't use it, it goes limp and weak. I keep up my practicing but it was just sort of feeling routine. Practice for a lesson, practice scales, practice some old pieces, practice some new pieces...With no accountability each week, I realized I have to be my own instructor. Tell myself to work on this or that

    Need to Get Your Rests In

    When we are writing, things can get a little confusing if a sentence just keeps droning on and on. When we tell a story, we have to take breaths and pauses so that a point can come across correctly. Breathing in-between words also adds flair to our story so it is not just bland. In music we enact all of these techniques by adding rests to the music, or silence. Just as we would add a comma or a period to a sentence, so too we add silence to break up the droll that a story can

    Piano Basics: C? It Isn't That Hard to Find!

    On the piano you find white and black keys. 🎹 How do you navigate it all? Because just looking at them can make some people dizzy! Yes there are 88 keys, but did you know that there are only seven letters you have to remember? Yes, if you can just remember the first 7 letters of the alphabet you are winning the battle. That means that out of those 88 keys there is a lot of repeating going on. Now to make it even easier, we are going to find the note C and see how it repeats

    Don't Run So Fast...

    When we are really young we love to jump, climb, run, skip, move all over the place. Wait, what am I saying? I still love to do those things. Shocker! I just remember that there were times that I would be running and jumping and leaping and my mom would say don't run so fast. As a little kid, I couldn't understand why would you be crushing on my fun?! Well it was not to take away from the only way of measuring up against the boys, but to try and make me aware of the potential

    Tuning me Crazy!

    I recently had a friend come to me asking for help with tuning her violin. She recently started playing it again and she was finding it hard to tune with the fine tuners as she was used to using. One of her fine tuners seemed to be stuck and would not continue any further for her to get the desired tone from that string. The description she gave me was that the strings kept slipping and that staying in tune was difficult. Always ready to help a friend, I was happy to take a l
