The program offers additional recitals, theory study, and a final evaluation at the end of the year which takes place at ASU. I will require that students involved have 45 minute weekly lessons to be sure they are properly prepared for the final evaluation and written theory test. This is an excellent way to challenge students to work harder as well as provide them more opportunities for performance throughout the year. </span></div>

It is organized in terms of the twelve years of public school, with one level available for each of the years a student would be enrolled in school. However, a student may progress at his/her level as the teacher may deem appropriate and/or necessary. It requires continual work throughout the year. In the spring, there is a private evaluation of the repertoire and technique requirements by a Master Adjudicator, and a written theory test.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>For all piano students and parents. Please take a moment to consider these practice techniques. It will make a huge difference as students learn their very challenging recital pieces. We talk about these practice skills every week during lessons, but I need parents to understand them as well. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This article is about a study done at Duke University with 17 pianists. <a href="http://www.bulletproofmusician.com/8-things-top-practicers-do-differently/">CLICK HERE</a> for the full article. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">All pianists were given a 3 measure passage from a piano concerto. They were told to practice, learn, memorize the passage, and take as much time as needed. Time took to learn the passage varied from 8 1/2- 57 minutes. They were then told that they could NOT go over the passage for 24 hours. They came back the following day and performed the 3 measures and were rated on rhythm, accuracy, tone, musicality, etc.. The results will surprise you. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are the findings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<ol style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 26px;">Practicing longer </span></span><span style="line-height: 26px;">didn't</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 26px;"> lead to higher rankings.</span></span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; list-style-type: decimal; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Getting in more repetitions had no impact on their ranking either.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; list-style-type: decimal; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The number of times they played it correctly in practice also had no bearing on their ranking.</span></li>
</ol>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">did</i> matter was:</span></div>
<ol style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0px 0px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">How many times they played it <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">in</i>correctly. The more times they played it incorrectly, the worse their ranking tended to be.</span></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; list-style-type: decimal; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The <i style="box-sizing: border-box;">percentage</i> of correct practice trials did seem to matter. The greater the proportion of correct trials in their practice session, the higher their ranking tended to be.</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="line-height: 26px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And here are the top 3 strategies among the top 3 pianists. </span></span></div>
<div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"1. The precise location and source of each error was identified accurately, rehearsed, and corrected.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Tempo of individual performance trials was varied systematically; logically understandable changes in tempo occurred between trials (e.g. slowed things down to get tricky sections correct; or speeded things up to test themselves, but not too much).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">3. Target passages were repeated until the error was corrected and the passage was stabilized, as evidenced by the error’s absence in subsequent trials."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
<b>So.... as you are practicing your recital songs. FIX THE MISTAKES EARLY by slowing down and fixing the error, over and over and over, until the error is no longer there. This will speed up the time it takes to learn your recital songs. </b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Spring Recital Information</b></span></div>
<br />
We are looking forward to an excellent recital coming up here in May. Here are the details.<br />
<br />
Studio Piano Recital<br />
May 16th @ 3PM<br />
Location- Home of student Andrea Judd. I will send out the address later.<br />
<br />
The recital will last about 1 hour.<br />
<br />
All students have been working very hard learning their songs. Practice should be consistent especially during these next few crucial weeks of learning and memorization. I cannot emphasize enough the need to practice daily with extreme focus. Missing even 1 day of practice will push a student back a step. Daily practice makes me happy!<br />

I wanted to share a little bit about Andrea Judd and her hard work in applying to and getting into a piano camp for this summer. She has been working hard these last several months learning her audition pieces. She chose to learn a Bach Invention and a Rachmaninoff Prelude. I'm so proud of her for getting these challenging songs learned and memorized in time for her audition! She will be attending the Arizona Piano Institute week long camp this June. During the camp she will perform, learn from incredible teachers, as well as participate in master classes and ensemble repertoire classes. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here are a few clips of her playing her audition pieces.<br /><div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Congrats Andrea! We are excited to hear about all of the things that you learn! </div>

Hello piano families!<br />
<br />
I've decided to post everything on this blog instead of emailing information out. It will be much easier to keep everything in the same location and keep everyone up to date.<br />
<br />
<b>MASTER CLASS- </b><br />
Thanks to the following students who were able to attend the master class on Feb 22nd.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kyler, Mara, Braden, TJ, Alex, Andrea, Bo, Rebecca. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was impressed by each students' preparation and hard work getting ready for the class. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After all of the students played for each other we did some ear training/notation, they listened to me play a melody and then each notated on their own paper what I played. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The next master class will be held <b><u>Saturday APRIL 19th</u></b>. It is necessary for as many students to come as possible as this will be a practice for the May recital. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>May Recital- </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The recital will be held Saturday <u>May 3rd at 2pm.</u> I'm still looking for a good place to hold the recital, if anyone has an idea of a place with good space and nice piano please let me know! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All students should now have recital songs and have begun working on them. Parents please be aware of what your children are learning, these songs are difficult and will take your encouragement and motivation to have them learned and memorized in time. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Spring Break-</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There will be no lessons <u>March 17th-21st</u>. This is the week Mesa Public schools is on vacation. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>SUMMER SCHEDULE- </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I leave for Tonga in the middle of June and will be gone through the end of July. I'm happy to schedule lessons for the first 2 weeks in June for those who are interested. All studio lessons will begin the first week in August. </div>
