Online Fall Recital Coming Soon!
Our fall recital is coming on September 29, 2024! To participate, you must select a recital time on our SignUp Genius. The 4 pm recital is full but there are still plenty of spots available for the 12 pm and 2 pm recitals. We will also have a sound check for the recital on September 28 from 7-9 pm where we make sure your Zoom settings are set to help your child sound their very best! We are so excited to give our students this performance opportunity.
Practice Bites: Building a Healthy Practice Habit
We have been so glad to see everyone practicing with their Practice Bites sheets to prepare for the recital! Practicing every day will help build your muscle memory to be able to play your instrument more easily. Even if you are only practicing for a short time, just a “bite”, the practice time is still beneficial. Regular practice will also help you to learn music theory concepts that are part of your music, like reading the notes on the staff or identifying different musical symbols.
Part of our Practice Bites challenge includes using a timer to keep track of how long you are practicing. The timer helps to promote independence with practicing and improves time management skills!
Practicing can be difficult at first, but with repeated practice over time, playing music becomes easier and brings a lot of fun! As you gain proficiency in your instrument, you can learn familiar fun songs you enjoy or famous classical pieces. We hope your Practice Bites challenge leads you to a lifelong musical journey of playing and enjoying your instrument.
