Happy New Year!!
I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas break, spending it with lots of family time, food, and maybe even some awesome Christmas music!? I always enjoy this break, but I am looking forward to getting back into a routine, not only with my family, but in our piano studio!
When thinking about New Years, we usually tie that with making resolutions and setting goals. What are your goals for this year when it comes to your musical progress? Maybe you want to set a goal to practice every weekday for a specific amount of time? Maybe you want to pass your current level of book? Maybe you want to learn a specific song? Whatever it is, this week during our lessons, we will be making goals and working on ways to achieve them.
I also have goals for my studio, which I will discuss with each student this week. A few of them will be:
1) I'd like to see each student pass off at least 2 songs per week.
2) I'd like to have more studio challenges with rewards!
3) I'd like to improve student's progress communications with parents .
Those are just a few that I am going to be focusing on with this new year in my studio. I hope with these changes, we will see great strides being made.
In connection with these goals, all students that started in September, will be receiving a piano progress report by the end of January. These reports will let parents know how their student is doing as far as concepts, performance, studio respect, etc. If there is room for improvement, I would ask that each parent and student to take those concerns seriously and work to make changes.
Thank you all for putting your student's musical journey in my hands. I hope they are enjoying their experiences. Thank you all for your support! I have such great students! I just love my job!!?
