We had a wonderful Summer Break since Amanda and her family were able to visit. I finally got to meet my very first granddaughter, Anya! Here is a picture of all of us on the 4th of July. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><img alt="Fourth of July-4.jpg" class="CToWUd a6T" data-image-whitelisted="" height="361" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1?ui=2&ik=cc686412b9&attid=0.1&permmsgid=msg-a:r-4201373425398128483&th=17ad569814054809&view=fimg&sz=s0-l75-ft&attbid=ANGjdJ_H7mn2tTOtYhmWs65Rr1zwzUAunjQbfpapeuv92LMSn8RDZ1QRKiXYCgLO9MLykuv5eGNHnXzNoyJTXPihsD1MqwI2yJV9xv8FVo7ayZQCOTSL_J3E08Yt-sU&disp=emb&realattid=ii_krguyhn30" style="cursor: pointer; outline: 0px;" tabindex="0" width="542" /><br /></div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a music studio, we have been doing a great job learning Music Theory and Scales and Arpeggios, especially as many of us continue distant learning. There are a few books that I would like to suggest everyone get if you are at the end of Book 1 or in Book 2 or above (about 5th grade or above in school). One is a music theory book called <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/0882848976/ref%3Dppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie%3DUTF8%26psc%3D1&source=gmail&ust=1627164509940000&usg=AFQjCNGICO1CwciOND3lzak0fEQz5HC_DQ" href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/0882848976/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Alfred's Essentials of Music Theory</a> This book will teach everyone important rules and theories of music as they go beyond beginner and get into more advanced levels. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Also, I always start out teaching scales, arpeggios and chords as part of our warm-ups. I think it is great ear training to learn them by rote. But as students learn the three minor scales of each key signature and need to know all the chords involved in each key things get a little more complicated learning it by rote. So another great book to have as a reference is <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/0739003682/ref%3Dppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie%3DUTF8%26psc%3D1&source=gmail&ust=1627164509940000&usg=AFQjCNGbNniWBSEG9rb4bZOzmtGJnvhawQ" href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/0739003682/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">The Complete Book of Scales, Chords, Arpeggios and Cadences.</a> This one is for piano students but it is good knowledge for all instruments.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some other book ideas for when we need a change from the main book:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/1540041549/ref%3Dppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie%3DUTF8%26psc%3D1&source=gmail&ust=1627164509940000&usg=AFQjCNHWaM_G_wUkDJx-bwJGKnwA-Zvd6g" href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/1540041549/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Disney Latest Hits</a></div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/1616776994/ref%3Dppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie%3DUTF8%26psc%3D1&source=gmail&ust=1627164509940000&usg=AFQjCNG6_a4uV8UCRpSt5esnFuEWuch0LQ" href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/1616776994/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Showtime Piano Disney</a></div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/147681306X/ref%3Dppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie%3DUTF8%26psc%3D1&source=gmail&ust=1627164509940000&usg=AFQjCNH0crjHx4rIByZq6SZUIDf0hk-KmQ" href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/147681306X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Ukulele Aerobics</a></div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/153031254X/ref%3Dppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie%3DUTF8%26psc%3D1&source=gmail&ust=1627164509940000&usg=AFQjCNGfpMKmflVqg0xlFaYacufktva0IQ" href="https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/153031254X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">Ukulele Celtic World Collection</a></div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Let me know if you find any other interesting books! </div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></div><div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "comic sans ms", sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Recitals:</b> Students have begun asking me when the next recital will be.

Throughout the pandemic, the studio has continued to have lessons through Zoom. We also had monthly recitals on Zoom, which has been a great way to continue to share our music with everyone while staying safe! I think the Zoom recitals have been great and we will probably continue to have Zoom recitals in the future even after everything has gone back to normal. I am so thankful for the parents who have continued with music lessons for their families! The students have worked hard this year even when it was hard and all have grown musically!</span></p><p><span><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span> </span>I wanted to let everyone know that we have begun having in-person lessons for those students and families that are ready to do that. Not everyone is ready and that is fine! So we will continue to do Zoom lessons.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span> </span>Zoom lessons are here to stay! They are very useful for those times when rides to lessons have fallen through or when a student or family member isn't feeling well and doesn't want to pass the germs on to me! So, even when a student has started to come in-person, zoom lessons will be available whenever it is more convenient.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span> </span>I do have a few spots available for new students to join us for the summer. So contact me to set up a time to meet me and discuss music!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Sincerely,</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Ms. Tonya</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><br /></p>Ms. Tonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17980806390886057604noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9165793104770843986.post-85174529399608073062020-01-17T11:54:00.000-08:002020-01-17T11:55:04.350-08:002020 Calendar<br />

<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">We have had another fantastic school year at Strings, Keys and
Melodies!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">Last summer, we had a fun incentive program called Summer Bingo.
The students made bingos as they completed different musical activities
such as practicing at home, putting on mini-concerts for family, listening to
certain composers on YouTube, and composing their own songs. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">In August, we had our Summer Recital at Camden Springs Retirement
Home. We had a great turn out even though it was the middle of summer!
And the students played beautifully!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">As the school year began in September, we took the time to get to
know one another with a “Music Friend” sheet that had space for listing our
favorite things plus a musical goal. It’s so important for all students
to know why they are playing an instrument and where they want to be in a few
months.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">In October we held our Fall Recital at a new retirement home, The
Commons. The home has a beautiful grand piano that was a great experience
to play! Recitals give our students a chance to play for other people as
well as an incentive to perfect their pieces.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">In November we continued to have our regular lessons and worked on
note reading, rhythm counting and clapping, and interval naming.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">We held our Winter Recital in December at The Carlton Senior
Living. Our students did another outstanding job! Most of the pieces were
Christmas songs, which our audience loved. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">For the New Year in January we all wrote out 3 new musical goals
for the next semester. Some of the goals included practicing every day,
composing their own pieces, learning a certain number of songs or just enjoying
music more! We will be going over those goals this week to see how many
we completed!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">In March we played our recital to a packed house at The Meadows.
The students played their music while many people listened from all the
way outside the doorway!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">In April, we voted for the Spring Recital’s theme. Pop and
Rock won and everyone began picking and choosing their favorite songs. It
was fun and a great learning experience to get out of our regular books to try
something different and maybe a bit harder than usual!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">This Sunday, May 7, we held our Spring Recital at Camden Springs.
The students did another fantastic job playing their Pop and Rock songs!
I was so impressed with how well everyone played, their rhythm was super!
The crowd really enjoyed the selection of songs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">This week, I will also be leading the Spring Fling at </span><st1:place><st1:placename><span style="font-family: "century gothic";">Jessie</span></st1:placename><span style="font-family: "century gothic";"> </span><st1:placename><span style="font-family: "century gothic";">Baker</span></st1:placename><span style="font-family: "century gothic";"> </span><st1:placetype><span style="font-family: "century gothic";">Elementary School</span></st1:placetype></st1:place><span style="font-family: "century gothic";">, a school for students with
special needs. I have taught Music and Movement classes at Jessie Baker
twice a week this school year (for a total of 5 years now). Each class
gets to choose their special song. Then I teach them dance moves and we
work on it all year long. They get to show off their dances at the Spring
Fling. This performance is very special to them, the teachers and me!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">This summer, we will continue to have our regular lessons working
on learning new songs, practicing reading music, naming intervals, recognizing
rhythms, memorizing scales, arpeggios and chords, plus other music theory.
We will learn these by playing songs as well as playing fun games and
activities. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">This year, I have continued my music education by expanding my
instrument knowledge! My instruments now include: piano, voice, violin,
guitar, ukulele, pennywhistle and the electric guitar. I have purchased a
large amount of new music for all of those instruments for me and my students.
I have also been taking music courses through The Great Courses by music
professor Robert Greenberg, a wonderful professor who has taught at UC Berkeley
as well as the San Francisco Conservatory and other great Universities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "century gothic";">I love music, learning new music and musical instruments and
teaching my students to love music too! I look forward to another great
year of music with all of you!</span></div>

We have had another great year at Strings, Keys and Melodies!</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Last Summer, we had several summer camps including Mind Craft - music theory games and Dancing with the Stars-a week of choreography and dance. We had a fun time learning and getting to know our fellow musicians.</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
In September we began our monthly incentive program. Each month we kept track of</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Composing and Improvising</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Learning New Songs, </div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
New Scales, Arpeggios and Chords,</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Listening challenges, </div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Memorized songs,</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Rhythm cups and Boomwhackers, </div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Ear training,</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Review Pieces,</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Performing for others,</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Naming and playing notes.</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Every time a student completed 6 challenges they would get their name on the "completed list" for that month and received a prize from the prize box!</div>

In October we held our first recital at The Meadows. The first recital of the year was a great success!</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
In December we held our recital at Camden Springs. The students did a great job composing and improvising Christmas and Winter inspired songs!</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
In January, each student wrote out the goals they wanted to complete this semester. It is exciting to check them off and see what they have accomplished!</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
In April we had another recital at The Meadows. Many people complimented our students on how they are improving and doing such a great job!</div>

In May we will have our Spring Recital on the 21st at Camden Springs. Our theme for this recital is <div class="gmail_default" style="display: inline; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
J</div>

Besides<div class="gmail_default" style="display: inline; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
teaching</div>
my private students, I taught Music and Movement Classes at Jessie Baker School in Elk Grove. The students at Jessie Baker range in age from 5 - 21 years old and have special needs. They love music and treat me like a rock star! In April, we had our Spring Fling. Each class chose a popular song. Then we put together dances and costumes to these songs which they performed for the entire school plus friends and family!</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
In June, I will be the guest at an annual banquet where I will be leading and teaching <div class="gmail_default" style="display: inline; font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</div>
songs and activities with Boomwhackers! Our students love Boomwhackers and I am excited to share these instruments with adults too! We will be doing songs but also rhythm activities that I plan on sharing with our students over the summer.</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
This summer, our students will continue to learn music theory with hands on games. We will continue to work on composing and improvising. We will also be focusing on rhythm cups and boomwhackers.</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
As a teacher, I will continue to look for new and exciting music teaching ideas, games and songs. I have several books that I plan on reading, including Intelligent Music Teaching. And I will continue to read and interact with other music teachers through blogs and other media. I have also been expanding my instrument collection to include autoharp, violin, ukulele and pennywhistle in addition to my piano, guitar and singing!</div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Thank you for being a part of our music family! I love making music together! </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago, I had my students think about what they had accomplished this year in their music classes. I gave them a paper with the words "This year I..." written on it along with a stick figure. Each of them took the time to think about what they had learned and accomplished this past year. Then they colored the stick figure to make it look like themselves.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I taped the pictures on my front door. The students and I love reading what everyone wrote and looking at their self portraits. I wanted to share this with parents and readers so that you can enjoy what they came up with too! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am very proud of my students. We really worked hard this year and made a lot of great music!</span></div>

This Summer, we will be holding some pretty special Summer Classes that all of our students should attend!</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
During our regular half hour lessons, we learn to play music games, do ear training, practice rhythms, go over musical symbols, learn new scales and arpeggios, review old songs, learn new songs, compose.....We cover so much! </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
But to help everyone really grasp these important concepts, we are going to spend time this summer practicing music theory concepts, rhythms and beats, and composing in fun, exciting ways. And the best part...We are going to do it together with our friends!</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">

<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">

#2<i> What will the classes cover?</i></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
In June, we will be teaching the class Mind Craft, which will focus on playing music theory, ear training, note reading and rhythm games to help us really remember all of those important concepts. Everyone could use practice reading notes!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
In July, we will be Dancing with the Stars! This class will focus on exploring music with our whole bodies as we do choreographed dances to current pop songs as well as a few classical pieces. We will learn a new dance routine at each class. This will help our students grasp rhythm and beat which is extremely important for musicians!!</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
<br /></div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif; font-size: large;">
In August, we will be Musical Ninja Warriors as we train ourselves to compose and create original songs and lyrics. Every creative musician needs to explore creating new sounds and combinations of tones and rhythms. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We will be holding it at the local library where we had a Christmas recital. It has a great big meeting room that had enough room for all of our students and their families and friends. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This recital will include all of our Music and Movement students, violin students, piano students and voice students. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Everyone has worked so hard this year! This recital will be the perfect time to celebrate that hard work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
