I actually checked my last post and it was from 2012? O my! I had my baby girl September 2012. so with 2 kids and music teaching, I actually haven't had time to write my blog at all. Now that my little one is turning two, I think I can devote more time again to my piano studio. Since the last time I wrote, I also fully completed my Music For Young Children training - level 3 which means I am now able to teach all the levels of the program. I recently went to a teacher conference and I am truly convinced and want to share with all of you that MYC is a well-rounded musicianship program for young children, and it fosters good parent-child relationship. I am looking forward to another year of FUN music teaching and I am so proud of each and every one of my students. Some of my students are returning to the program for the third year, which means they are now role models for the younger ones starting out this year at ages 5-6. Enjoy the September long weekend and good luck with all the new transitions that everyone is going through this Fall.

My piano students had their first public piano recital at Extendicare - Eaux Claires Senior Centre on June 30, 2012. There were about 20 seniors who enjoyed our performance and our company. Each student did a great job performing and they handed out an origami bird to each senior. I was told by a family relative that seniors really enjoy listening to music, even if they don't remember the name of the song, the familiar tunes soothes them and brings back good memories. I hope this was a me...

We have almost completed lessons for the year. My students have improved so much and now they are getting ready for their year end recital at the end of the month. I have chosen to do something a little different this year. We are going to be performing at a senior home in my community. I am hoping this will make my students interested in doing volunteer work in the future. Wish us luck!

"Did you know that the government of Canada has Canadian Children’s Arts Tax Credit (CATC) available for classes like MYC? Many programs that focus on artistic and cultural activities would qualify for the tax credit. And now the time of the year to think about enrolling our children in extracurricular activities for the upcoming school year. Please visit the Canada Revenue website for more information.
