I love getting to be a positive influence in my students' lives. To be a good musician, it requires dedication and patience. These skills will help in every aspect of life, not just music. 2. How do you inspire students to practice more? I try to stress that they are capable of anything. Many times, I'll play something that the student thinks is cool or hard and I let them know that with training through practice, they are fully capable of playing anything that I or any other musician has the ability to play. 3. What part do you feel that the recital experience plays in a students’ development? Recitals and concerts are huge for two reasons. First off, it gives the students confidence. The more you get up and play in front of a crowd, the easier it becomes. The better you get at it, the more confident you become and, again, that confidence can help in many aspects of life. Secondly, it exposes the students' weaknesses. You can mess up a lot in the practice room and it doesn't really matter. When you mess up with a lot of people watching and listening, it really inspires you to try harder next time. 4. What is you favorite type of music? I love jazz and funk. I love horns; saxophones, trumpets, trombones, flute, etc. they add so much depth, punch, and sensitivity to music. Student of the Month: Stacey Creasy 1. What instrument do you take at Musicology? Voice. 2. How long have you taken lessons? 2 years 3. What are your hobbies, besides music? Softball, shopping, and Starbucks 4. What is your favorite food? Costa Rican rice and beans, pizza, and fries 5. What is the coolest thing you’ve learned in your lessons in the past 3 months? Laughing when I sing and learning I can get better and better 6. What do you like about your teacher? She is funny and amazing Group Make Up Class Schedule for March Beginning Piano: Saturday the 5th @ 9am, Thursday the 10th @ 7pm, and Thursday the 31st @ 6:30 pm Intermediate Piano: Friday the 4th @ 4pm, Tuesday the 15th @ 5:30 pm, Beginning Voice: Saturday the 12th @ 4pm, Saturday the 26th @ 4pm Intermediate Voice: Saturday the 5th @ 4pm, Saturday the 19th @ 4pm Beginning Guitar: Saturday the 12th @ 12pm, Monday the 14th @ 5:30, Saturday the 26th @ 12pm Intermediate Guitar: Saturday the 5th @ 12pm, Saturday the 19th @ 12pm, Beginning Drum: Saturday the 12th @ 9am, Thursday the 17th @ 4pm Intermediate Drum: Friday the 4th @ 4pm, Saturday the 26th @ 9am Strings: Saturday the 19th @ 3pm, Thursday the 24th @ 6:30 Mallet: Saturday the 19th @ 9am PETS OF THE MONTH!
