Just a reminder…

Hi students and parents,

Just a reminder that lesson fees are due for the following month by the last lesson of each month.

This ensures your lesson time is locked in for the following month and makes me not have to chase you up with an extra fee for late payment!

Fun Times

Here’s a quick video of the May Day celebrations earlier this year that I forgot to post earlier. These are two of my adult students and myself playing Drowsy Maggie.

Learning an instrument can be fun and the proof is in the punch! 🙂

If you’re interested in being able to play socially like us here, contact me.

Snapshots from the Spring Recital

Here are a few snapshots from the recent Spring Recital for my Music Time Academy students in Livermore.

Many thanks to photographers Philip Liborio Gangi, Justin W. Garrett, and Juan Montalvo for devoting your time to photographing/filming over 300 music students in three rooms! Here’s a playlist of a just a few of the students’ performances.

To learn with me at Music Time Academy Livermore in the new school year, sign up now by calling (925) 456-3460.

It’s been a pleasure teaching my students in Livermore. Have a great summer and see you in August!

Music Can Make You More Creative!

I came across this article, recently, and thought it was worth sharing. :

Here’s Proof That Music Can Do More Than Just Make You Feel Good

“Levitin explained that the field of neuroscience has identified two primary modes of brain operation: Either you’re paying attention to something very closely and you’re deeply engaged in a task, or you’re in “mind-wandering mode,” which involves daydreaming and flitting from thought to thought. As Levitin put it, “It’s a flood of different thoughts that feel unconnected and loose.”

“It’s in this mode where almost all of our creativity happens, and where we’re able to come up with innovative solutions to problems.”

Of course it does! 🙂
