National Federation of Music Clubs:As a member of the NFMC my students prepare for and are encouraged to participate in their yearly Junior Festival. Students will learn and memorize two songs to perform on stage in front of an evaluator to earn points toward their gold cup award.
Group Workshops are offered for all students throughout the year. The workshops help students prepare for recitals, study new material and work together with other students.
Family Concert Events are recommended performances within the community. Going to a live performance is a great experience for a young musician and the entire family as well. Dates and times of various performances will be announced through the studio newsletter.
Computer Games are recommended for all students. I have educational games that reinforce concepts taught with their lessons, along with programs that teach students how to compose their own music while learing about different instruments.The sessions can be completed immediately before or after their private lessons.
