What a piano player! In one year of piano lessons she has completed 3 books and soon will finish 2 more fun books! Good job, Jaysea.

Genevieve can recognize all notes, including ledger line notes in under one minute to earn the silver medal in the One Minute Club. Congratulations!

To join the One Minute Club, Jaysea had to recognize all the notes written on the Grand Staff in less than 60 seconds. Great job, Jaysea! She has had piano lessons almost a year!

Kate learned notes above and below the staves and also sharp and flat notes and was able to recognize them in under one minute! She has earned the silver badge in the One Minute Club. Congratulations, Kate. You worked hard.

Piano students had a great performance day with their judge, Dr. Helen Brown, earning all blue ribbons! Even though some were nervous, all played their technic (scales, chords, arpeggios and cadences) very well and most of their pieces were nearly perfect.

Blue ribbons are awarded for five categories: 6 is a superior performance, 6 minus is superior with one small area needing improvement; 5 plus is an excellent performance with few errors, 5 is an excellent performance needing polish and a 5 minus is not all pieces were prepared.
