Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from my family to yours!  Enjoy the day!  For me, nothing helps me reflect upon the true meaning of Christmas more than the beautiful classic Christmas Carols. 

Best Wishes and Good Luck!

Best wishes and good luck to all of our Note-worthy Experiences Students who will be performing in our Annual Winter Holiday Recital!  I am super proud of each and every one of you!  Now is the time to shine!  Now is the time to show off what you have learned!  Now is the time to enjoy the spotlight!  Now is the time to celebrate!  This is the perfect way to end the year!  The studio will be closed following the recital until January!

Miss Jaime

Please join me in a huge round of applause for Miss Jaime!  Miss Jaime completed her level 2B books last week.  Miss Jaime has been taking lessons with Note-worthy Experiences for many years.  Jaime now has lessons via Skype.  When Jaime is not playing the piano, she can be found playing her saxophone, violin or performing in a school play.  She also works on her school newspaper.  Jaime also enjoys spending time her family and pets.  Congratulations Jaime!

Happy Birthday to Beethoven!

Happy Birthday to Ludwig van Beethoven!  Ludwig was born on December 16, 1770 in Bonn, Germany and lived until March 26, 1827.  By the age of seven, Ludwig was playing the organ, piano and violin.  At age twelve, he started composing his own works. 

What is your favorite Beethoven work?
