Here are three of the things that I am loving this month: Mr. Potato Head Playing Cards, "Scales Bootcamp", and live concerts. Mr. Potato Head Playing Cards: I found this playing cards at a thrift store a couple of weeks ago. My students and I have been having so much fun using them in lessons. Our favorite game right now is to pick a card to tell us how many time we have to do the next thing on the list…gets pretty funny when a student picks 9 or 10!! For a twist, if a student picks a cards with a letter on it, I have to do the next thing when they get to watch.  Mr. Potato Head Cards Here is some inspiration for young violinists! Keep up the great practicing! Here are three things that I have been loving recently: musical Twister, a recital practice chart, and new strings! :D  Musical Twister Musical Twister is such a fun game to review notes on a staff. If you have ever played regular Twister, you know how easy it is to get your arms and legs tangled up and end up falling over with laughter! The kids had that much fun with this homemade musical version. The staff is electrical tape on a shower curtain and the spinner (I found on Amazon) is stuck to the front of a clear CD case, so the insides can be changed depending on what game we are playing. (Eventually, I would like a more durable grand staff mat, but this works for now.)
What habit are you forming with your practice?  Quote by Aristotle Celebrate! I am so thankful for the country I live in...the United States of America. As we take a day to celebrate the freedoms we have in this country, here is a few patriotic songs to get you in the spirit of the day! Yankee Doodle Variations I would LOVE to be able to try playing on this piano! Wouldn't it be fun to play piano with your feet? :) Need a little inspiration to practice more? Listen to Itzhak Perlman and Yo Yo Ma as they perform this beautiful violin and cello duet. |
