Lesson #15

You're ALL DONE! Thank you so much for attending Station Day with your child (or sending someone else to attend if you couldn't)! It really meant a lot to them! I hope it helped you to see just how much they have learned this semester. I really appreciate everything you have done as parents to help your children succeed! This has been a wonderful 3rd Year!


If you didn't get a chance to fill out the parent evaluation during station day, please take the time to fill this out. It really helps me to be better as a teacher! You can remain anonymous if you wish.

I can't wait for our End-of-Year Recital. I hope you will all enjoy seeing just how amazing each of these children are! I love how different each of the compositions are and how they all tell a different story. If any of you get any good pictures, I'd love to see them (especially group pictures at the end)!


Just so you know, the QR code at the front of the Student Composition book that I made leads to a page on my website that is NOT linked from anywhere else. So the only ones that are going to be seeing the compositions are those of you who HAVE THE LINK. To see the sheet music full size, just follow the instructions on the page. To hear the songs, just push play and be sure your sound is on! I'm so proud of all the compositions and how unique they all are! Great work!

Please let me know if you are interested in having your child compete in the composition contest. I am allowed to submit only one composition, so at this point, whoever is interested needs to let me know as soon as possible so I can get your child entered. As of this afternoon, NOBODY had submitted any entries to LPM yet, so the odds of winning something are really good! There are awards for Best Melody, Best Use of Chords, Best Use of ABA Form, Most Original, Best Story, and Best Overall. You'll just need to upload a YouTube video of the student performing their piece, introducing themselves and the name of their piece and explaining the 'story' that their song will tell. I can help you with any of the technical things that will be needed to submit your child's masterpiece! This is a great opportunity to be recognized for their hard work! The deadline to have it to LPM is May 15th, so don't procrastinate!

Please take advantage of the Connections book you received during Station Day. You can have your private teacher go through it with your student to help them know what your child has learned in LPM. They can go through it as fast or slowly as they would like. It will help them to see that your child knows so much more than just playing the piano (transposing, chord theory, sight singing, etc.) This is an invaluable resource that you should definitely take advantage of! There is a teacher guide and a letter inside to help your new teacher know how to use it.   
   
If you would like a really fun set of music books that your child can either work on at home or as part of private lessons, or even in a Bridge class with Miss Ashley, Let's Play Music has got you covered. You can buy the Bridge materials (on sale during the month of May using promo code: May15) and go through them on your own or with your private teacher. These are the BEST materials for LPM graduates!


For a quick and fun review, you can do a virtual ESCAPE ROOM for Orange Roots here: https://escaperoomlpm.wixsite.com/home/orangeroots


Thank you so much for a wonderful 3 years! Your children are truly amazing!
