Seven students from the studio will soon be participating in the Sonata-Sonatina Festival of the North Shore Music Teachers Association. Each will be playing one or two movements from a sonata or sonatina for a panel of two judges. They will receive written comments and a numerical score. The event takes place later this month.

Students and myself have thoroughly enjoyed the studio's new Yamaha C7 grand piano! It is 7'6", and has a gorgeous sound and a luscious feel. See it and hear it for yourself . . .

Now that many students' families own iPhones and iPads, they have been using them to assist in their home practice. Students have been recording themselves doing performances of entire pieces and short segments of new pieces, then sending them to me via e-mail for my feedback (which also is via e-mail). This has enabled me to give a "mini-lesson" midway during students' practice weeks, fostering quicker progress!
