Little Musicians - Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and  joyful new year!

Everyone did such a wonderful job at the recitals!  I was proud of all the singers and pianists!  They really amaze me at what they can accomplish. I am looking forward to getting back into class with everyone this week to learn new songs. 

We had a lot of fun studying Native American music!  Now we are moving onto Germany.  During the next 2 months we will be introduced to great composers such as Bach, Handel, Haydn, and Mozart.  We will also listen to music with a "cuckoo" motif, dance a polka, and learn a bit of the German language!   

My daughter, Rachel, and I have started a new music blog for parents just like you.  We will continue to put new articles on each week that will help you practice with your children and encourage the love of music at home!  Check it out at www.stringskeysandmelodies.blogspot.com and become a fan on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Strings-Keys-and-Melodies/218265388248738?sk=wall  We will keep you up to date!  Please let us know of any questions, issues, ideas that you would like us to answer or address on our blog and we will be sure to do that!  Thanks!

Looking forward to new music in the new year!
