All students of mine at Sherwood or FaithSlaker Music:
I hope you're all having a great summer so far! Though I hear it is raining in Chicago.... Since you're not having summer weather though, you can spend a little more time at the piano! Care to show us all what you can accomplish on your own?
This summer there are two contests. The first contest is to play something using technology as an accompaniment and perform it via video. Have fun with this one. Surprise me! The second contest is to learn and perfect a piece entirely on your own. This may not be a piece we have previewed in lesson and it may not be a part of the Suzuki repertoire if you are a Suzuki student. The piece needs to be performed with beauty and accuracy, but does not need to be memorized. As always, winners will be selected based on accomplishment within their playing level, musical expression and daring choice.
Entries must be received by midnight on August 31st (via youtube, vimeo or mp4) and winners will be announced via blog/twitter/facebook during the first week of classes. There will be one winner and one runner up for each category (technology or repertoire) and the winners will be awarded fun sheet music to work on in lessons as well as the privilege of having their performance shared and admired.
Now, head on over to the piano, warm up with your performance pieces, and see what you can do! I look forward to watching all the entries!
