The Musical Bingo Challenge Starts!

You all have your work cut out for you this month with our BINGO Challenge! Get going trying to fill in as many BINGO squares as you can. Play for a grandparent, polish a piece, read a book, help someone at school, listen to your Suzuki CD, and practice! Be sure that you can support and explain each square you complete.

Check out the Fiddle page. New tunes are up for the Fall Fiddle Class to start listening to and learning. Everyone is welcome to access this page and listen to the tunes and try to learn them. Hear one you like? Let me know and maybe we can work on it in lesson!

Parent Ed session this Tuesday during group. Thank you in advance to my parent and student volunteers!

I am so proud of all the goals that are being set! So much independence and thought have been put into these goals and how we might achieve them. What a great skill to have and develop!

Lastly, it's time to start thinking about a performance piece for the first recital of the year on Sunday October 26th at 2:00 at Siloam United Church. Everyone must be present at the rehearsal to this recital on Tuesday October 21st (Group Class).
Many people are pushing to complete book graduations and many are taking advantage of this first recital to choose a review piece to perform while we prepare a more challenging piece for the next recital.
Going back to pieces we've learned and performed a while ago gives us the chance to reflect on how our skills have grown. The success we achieve in playing something that is so comfortable builds our performance confidence and allows us to more successfully complete our trickier pieces because of this confidence. This is the Suzuki method at it's best: Success Breeds Success!
I look forward to helping everyone prepare for a successful recital!
