Teacher's Notes
March is alway a busy month! I judged for Certificate of Merit last weekend and will judge for the Southern California Bach Festival as well. Students are preparing for their Certificate of Merit programs with exams starting this weekend, Royal Conservatory MDP, Bach Festival, Sonata competitions, and National Guild Auditions.
I will also attend the MTNA Music Teacher's National Association conference in Baltimore, MD for a week, as I begin to transition my role as CAPMT President-Elect to President.
FaceTime lesson are on the rise. Students, next time you are feeling under the weather, consider turning on your phone or iPad for a FaceTime lesson instead!
Make these upcoming auditions your best auditions. Prepare early, practice daily, and review and check off the detailed practice tips for each piece as listed in your assignment books!
Good luck students. I'm proud of your dedication to persistence, progress and piano!
Ms. Noreen
