Awesome practicing this week and/or focusing in the lessons today, guys!

Samuel

All of that ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’ practicing wasn’t all for naught, Samuel!  For Mothers Day, and any other opportunity you might have to perform ~ please do!  The ‘Art of Performing’ is like any other task one might undertake — the more you practice it, the better you get at it!

Kate

Horizontal/circular motions with your body and hands.  Use different hand/finger articulations for different musical textures and moods.  FEEL THE RHYTHM!!!

Jeffrey

Excellent practicing in slow motion the harder sections of your pieces, today.  And, don’t forget to ALWAYS move to the piece’s rhythm.  Keep it up!

Serena

You’ve been a real trooper these past few months.  Be patient, practice, and you will soon have these two songs under your belt.
