Keyboard Merits (piano exams) are Friday, May 22nd. Bring only the music you need; no bags, no backpacks, no lanyards with badges, no brag cards. I will provide the judge with all the music. You will stay 6 feet or more from the judge. There will be chairs 6 feet apart in the foyer of the church for a parent. Only the student will come in the hallway where you see the judge. There are no warmup pianos available. I will give completed five-finger trophies and certificates and take a picture. Ribbons and personally engraved trophies come in a few weeks.
I am so proud of all the practice you have done. During the month of April, the following students have completed these books: Completing Prelude by Piano Pronto are Forrest Doty, Mady Wood, Courtney Cole, and Jason Besherse; Champion Tribble completed “To the Farm”, Kevin Harris finished Movement 2 and Hazel Day completed Alfred lesson book 1B.
The May recital is postponed.
Preparing for piano exams
Champion is working on perfect posture for piano exams, May 22. That was the goal this week for all students; the tp was for fun!
