Bruno classes begin

I began piano at Bruno this Monday morning. My students are so polite, and smart! I loved how they figured out things on their own and were such good problem solvers.

The Kindermusik class at Bruno will start on Monday though I am still taking registrations! This month, the 4 to 6 year old class will focus on Spanish music and exposure to the Spanish language. We will also be exploring the black and white keys on the piano, and learning to read quarter notes and quarter rests.

My piano class also started this week. We are working on steady beat, finger numbers and hand position as well as simple songs on the black keys. We will also be exploring high and low on the piano and loud and soft.

First week of classes

Kindermusik at my home studio has started this week! Today's class went really well, and I am excited about our class tonight! They will begin at the school in a few weeks.

In our ABC class today, I learned so much from observing the children. They had so many ideas of different ways to play the instruments and different movements to try that I had never thought of! I was also pleasantly surprised at how well they did with inhibitory control. I even had one student today who asked to do the "stop and start" even after we had finished with that concept! At home this week, practice the stopping and starting with your egg shakers. See how many different ways you can play them, and then instruct them to "stop". You can also play this game with different types of movement to your CD. Musical chairs, Red Light Green Light, and Mother May I are also games that use this concept!
