New Books for Everyone!

Many students started in new music books after March Break. One student made a leap from primary books to graded books in the Royal Conservatory of Music curriculum. Other students received new books from the Northern Lights series (Canadian National Conservatory of Music). It is such an exciting thing to receive fresh new music, and it gives a nice little boost at this time of year when the spring weather is taking so long to appear.

Two Projects

First, the studio has undergone a bit of a renovation in the past couple months. For about a year and a half I used two white IKEA shelving units to house all my music books and teaching materials. These worked ok but didn't look the greatest and took up a lot of space. So we decided to move them upstairs and use them as toy storage and voila! my hubby got a new construction project.

A Studio Update- Winter 2014

Here's a post to let you know what's happening at my music studio. March is often a difficult month, as the "winter blahs" can really set in and motivation/positive thinking is low. This winter is no exception as the snow continues to pile up and temperatures are frequently below -20 degrees Celsius. We are working on some good goals though, and I think we're going to make it through. And although this time of year feels slow, it's amazing how fast the music festival, exams, and recitals creep up come springtime!
