Set Good Examples
Set a good example for your kids by practicing music too. They’ll appreciate your effort to show them you are part of the process. The whole family should foster a love of music. Remember, it takes a village…

Watch “When the Saints”
We are getting ready for a performance at a local Octoberfest. When students get together to collaborate with music it is a really fun experience. Balancing the sound and communication are the keys to success in playing with a partner!

Posture, Posture, Posture
Posture is so important when you play violin or any other instrument! When you strive to do your best by holding your instrument properly your good form can improve your pitch and quality. You can also avoid injuries that occur with bad technique. Ultimately, if you care enough to work on your posture your future as a musician will surely be bright!

Scale Fun
Learning the “G” Major scale has never been so much fun! I love inspiring good feelings about music lessons.

Musical Outreach
When I bring students to perform for the residents at a local nursing home on a monthly basis I elevate my program to a new level. It is wonderful to provide music for those who need it most. It gives students a strong purpose, provides incentive for practice, experience in performance, while allowing them to be a part of a larger musical community. This is a win-win situation.
