Welcome !!

Welcome to "The Treble and Bass of Music". I am so glad you stopped by. This blog is designed to give parents and students some direction when it comes to playing piano in the areas of technique, practicing and pedagogical information. I will also highlight certain composers that we are studying over the year and give suggestions regarding your own compositions.

Fall piano has begun!!

All of my students have completed their first week of piano. Now is the time for families to get organized and determine when would be a good time to practice each day. I expect at a minimum 4-5 practices per week so that each student can return to lessons prepared to move ahead.  Practices do not need to be lengthy if everyone is concentrating and if we all accomplish what was asked us on on the lesson plan notes.
     Tonic tutor computer assignments were well done this week. This is an amazing site that will greatly assist each student in understanding their music and is a wonderful resource for reinforcing musical ideas discussed and tried during lessons. Keep plugging away at these assignments---you will not regret it!!
      Remember that you have been given a wonderful gift--the gift of music that will last your entire life. Cherish and nuture this gift. "Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it." --Thomas Fuller.
