When it comes to mastering the piano, it can take hours upon hours of practice to artistically and technically execute a lengthy concerto. This arduous goal may seem beyond reach for most pianists.

Come Experience the Joy of Music. Wednesday, December 19, 2007. Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy, it is the wine of a new procreation, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for men and makes them drunk with the spirit. According to Merriam-Webster, artistry is the quality of effect or workmanship. Naturally, the effect of artistry at the piano is the connection of the pianist to the audience.

Come Experience the Joy of Music. Friday, November 30, 2007. When to Start Piano Instruction? I have found there are four critical factors for young students who begin piano lessons. They are maturity, reading ability, mathematic skills, and desire. The first three are essential to musical success, while the last one can be developed over time. Rhythm is based upon basic mathematic principles. Students should be able to count and do based addition and subtraction, as notes types carry a certain numbe...

The Joy of Music Blog: Blank Sheet Music
http://amyallredstudio.blogspot.com/2008/02/blank-sheet-music.html
Come Experience the Joy of Music. Friday, February 8, 2008. I found this blanksheetmusic.net. I can just select a few settings and print it off. For my younger students, it’s so nice to have larger staffed sheet music, where they can easily draw notes and music notation. This site has saved me a lot of time and improved my students’ learning experiences, and best of all, it’s free. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Joy of Music Blog.

Come Experience the Joy of Music. Sunday, December 16, 2007. As a piano teacher, I love receiving thank you cards from students. They are very heartfelt and sweet. I keep each card I receive as they fond reminders of why I choose to share the gift of music.

Come Experience the Joy of Music. Monday, March 17, 2008. Q&A with Jeremy Showgren. I met Jeremy several years ago through a theatre project. Not only is he a skilled pianist and music director, but he an expert when it comes to music production and arranging. He has created countless arrangements and tracks for countless shows in Utah Valley. It is not surprising that he got started in theatre by accompanying shows on the piano. What are your favorite things about teaching? A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Come Experience the Joy of Music. Thursday, December 6, 2007. Kids do not have the same learning motivations as do adults. “Children don't have long-term vision and can't always see the intrinsic value of what they're doing.
