I love a handwritten note.
Saying goodbye to graduating students is a bittersweet experience.
I'm sad to see them move on.
I'm happy to have had time to make music with them.
I keep these little cards as a reminder....
that music is powerful
music is joyful
music makes an impact
music can change the world
children are powerful
children are joyful
children make an impact
children will someday change the world
Noise makers are the perfect way to celebrate the end of a successful Silver Buttons semester! 🎉
We've had SO much fun learning about letters, days of the week, shapes, elephant songs, the DO pentatonic scale, music from Mozart, Mancini & Strauss and so much more!
Do you have a favorite song or activity from the Silver Buttons semester? Let me know!
Mine is The Baby Elephant Walk by Henry Mancini ♥️ 🐘🎶
📢 Parents: do any of these sound like you?

Our littlest musicians (babies–4 years old) are wrapping up their Spring semester NEXT week with a mini celebration class - Instrument Day! 🥳🎶
This fun “show & tell” style class gives each child a chance to bring an instrument from home and share it with their friends.
We often see simple favorites like toy keyboards, little drums, or tiny flutes and we love them all!
Got a musical family member? Parents and loved ones are welcome to join as special guest performers, too.
There’s nothing sweeter than making music together. ♥️
What will your child bring to Instrument Day?
From the very first Let’s Play Music class I observed in 2009 with , I was completely hooked.
I truly believe Let’s Play Music is an invaluable part of childhood.
While I appreciate the many wonderful private piano teachers out there who are passionate about what they do, for ME, there’s simply no more joyful way to experience music with children than teaching this curriculum.
Want to know more about becoming a Let's Play Music teacher? Just ask!

🪲🐞🐛🦋 I spy cute little Blue Bugs students ready to move on to playing piano this fall! 🎹🎶
The past 8 months, we’ve been building a strong foundation in staff awareness, interval recognition, tonal center, steady beat, subdivision, chord function, and many other essential skills.
All of these will support piano playing and continued musical growth in the years ahead!
To review white piano key names, we play a little game - "Sn**ch & Smash"
I call out a letter music alphabet letter, then the first one to grab the correct keys' playdoh ball gets to smash it!
This little sister was especially stoked to beat her older sister this time around 🎹🎶🎉

Ok, so I gotta hear it... which one are you?
Is there any truth to this assessment? 😅🎶

Our year-end showcase is in just a couple of weeks!
It's very normal for children to feel anxious to perform. The only way through performance nerves is to prepare as much as possible.
Following these simple steps can help children feel more prepared for the big day!
Are there any other tips you would add that help you feel more prepared for a performance?
What's the verdict? Should you be practicing right now? 🎼🎵🙈
Send that to a friend who should be practicing instead of scrolling 🤣
