1 National Program-- 7 memorized pieces and 3 Musicianship Phases
​They all received Superior Ratings!  way to go, A-LISZTers!!

​It was an amazing day yesterday at the Steinway Gallery at the Roswell Federation Music Festival Adjudications!! My private music students worked so hard on their solos and music theory! We brought back 10 Superiors and 1 Excellent in piano and violin performance, and 9 Superiors and 2 Excellents in Music Theory!  Way to go, A-LISZTers!  Awesome job! 

What is better than music games, prizes, goodie bags, and a HOT CHOCOLATE BAR??  Nothing I say....nothing at all!!  Our Christmas group lesson is always a time to celebrate the hard work of these music scholars, and it's a blast.  We do music games and prizes.  So many prizes...Of course we talk about our mascot FRANZ LISZT since our club is named after him---The A-LISZT Junior Music Club!!  So of course we had to include him!
Christmas Carol Bingo....these kids know their Xmas songs!!  Have a blessed and peaceful Christmas break.  See you in January!

The Christmas Recital was a great success, and these students brought their A GAME...Such amazing A-Liszters!  Way to go.  We had both violin and piano performances, and also heard a piano concerto and rousing SLEIGH RIDE TRIO as the finale!  Super fun as these kids work hard and PLAY harder!  

Our Spring Music Recital was a great success!  We had 8 amazing musicians perform and all did amazingly!!  It is great fun to see students of all levels on violin and piano demonstrate their hard work this year!
​

It's an amazing day when you get to spend it at the Steinway Piano Gallery!  It's an even better day when all your A-LISZTER students get Superior ratings on their piano performance adjudications and their Theory tests!!  

Beautiful Sounds of Christmas from these musical scholars!! 

One of my favorite sights to behold is friendships that develop with my older students.  Middle Schoolers and High schoolers tend to look for acceptance among their peers, which can be challenging at times.  As kids grow, I think it is especially important for students to find other like-minded students who share their hobbies.  For the music studio, this is always fun to see kids develop friendships as they continue their journey in music lessons and self-expression in music.  I find this incredibly valuable for myself and the young people I serve in the studio!  Over the years, it has been a  joy to watch my students grow up together in music lessons!  They love getting together and playing music for each other!  This gives them a way to connect to other people in a significant way!  So many blessings with this! I am grateful for these young people and their love for music!

Our spring music recital was incredibly special, because we were able to highlight the hard work of all our students and three teachers!  We had amazing performances by both pianists and violinists!  What a wonderful day it was!  and playing a Steinway grand is ALWAYS a treat!
