Miss Keller's Music Classroom

Hi there! I have had several inquiries about piano lessons. I wanted to post on here to let everyone know I still have a few spots open right now. To get started, I have attached a google form that comes on a first come, first serve basis. Please let me know if you have any questions!  Piano Lessons with Miss Keller

Many students experience stage fright from time to time. As a music teacher, one of my main goals is to help them overcome this fear and be confident in the music they are making. For many musicians, myself included, preparation is key. Especially for a play or musical involving speaking parts, it is key that each child prepares for their part weeks in advance. I do my best to assign parts and send them home as soon as possible. We will also do several rehearsals in front of an audience to ensure the children have plenty of experience doing the "real thing." Throughout the year, I also try to remind students that it's more about the process, not the outcome. It's about coming together and making music together. It doesn't have to be perfect! But the more they prepare, the better the outcome will be! For more tips on stage fright, see the links below. Overcoming Stage Fright

Welcome parents! This first post is designated to offer some helpful tips on practicing the recorder at home. Your student should have brought their new recorder and book home this week. Inside the book, you will find content about the recorder, how to hold it, proper instrument etiquette and cleaning, fingering charts for playing notes, as well as all of the songs we will learn this year. At the back of the book, they have a practice sheet to help them stay on track. As we start out on recorder, we will be practicing technique and respecting the instruments. Please check in with your child to ensure they are treating their recorder and book with proper care. Should they have any questions at home, I have attached some helpful links that you may share with them if they need help. Happy recorder season! Recorder Practice Recorder Practice
