Half term update.

Hi everyone,

I hope that you are enjoying your half-term break and playing your Autumn and Halloween pieces. Next week we are back to piano lessons and it's time to start the Christmas music! If you want to buy your child a Christmas music book it is best to get them one from the same series as the tutor book they are using: Piano Adventures or Hal Leonard. These and many others are available from www.musicroom.com

Susan Paradis also has several seasonal pieces for beginners: www.SusanParadis.com
I will also provide some music in piano lessons.

If you have exams or the Chelmsford Competitive Festival this term, keep playing and practising and especially remember to do some daily sight-reading. Also, look under the Guides and Reviews section of this blog for a guide to surviving exams and competitions. Nearer the date we will do a countdown and have a pre-exam play through to each other.

In the next couple of weeks I will also explain this year's incentive/reward scheme so keep your eyes peeled for that. The 30 Piece Challenge worked really well last year but it's good to mix things up and change things around so that's what I will do!
