​Playing Zip Twinkle, Zap Twinkle.. what a big sound this student has and amazing eyes on the bow!

Everyone loves Ms. Kayla! She brings so much warmth and support to the studio as our Bunny Ballads- Book 1 pianist. Also helping with the summer camp & organization :)

These students worked so hard to finish their Bunny Ballads repetitions- over 700!

We had our December 16, 2017 Recital at Free Range Brewing! What a great host and a fun location! Parents could relax and enjoy a cold drink while their kids had a fun little stage to play on. 
Picture

"Art is not some far off place.." -Suzuki

Students were practicing their pieces before they got on stage. Can you believe that half the students are almost done with the Bunny Ballads book!?
Picture
So many lovely performances!! Much progress was made in just one month (since we had the Bunny Party/Recital)
Awards are so much fun & I hope to always help students motivate each other through these silly banana awards! 
Picture

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!! What a fun last few months it has been. Looking forward to seeing what this New Year brings!

It started out as an ordinary cool fall morning, but what they didn't know how much fun the bunny party would be!

Students arrived and the teacher let them take their time to get ready because the power cord wasn't working for the piano and speaker!

Siblings were excited to watch everyone play violin!

Tom Sykes Rec Center was a great host for our 2 week summer camp! 
Picture
Located on the same campus of Dilworth Elementary in a historic Charlotte neighborhood.
Picture

Picture
Picture

Picture
We split up into two groups for weekly points earned from bow circle competitions, good behavior, and winning points from group games! 
Picture
We did some breathing exercises and put lavender oil on our wrists. Very relaxing! 
Picture
Then had a little yoga time! 
Picture
Yoga Monkey says..... "Namaste"
Picture
We had violin lessons each day. This was a silly exercise to see how long we could hold ducks on our instruments before they fell. 
Picture
Bow hold races were a favorite for the kids & they are always fun for the teacher who likes to trick with a false start ;) "Ready, Set.... Go fish!!" 
Picture
Picture
We had different art projects each day! I love oil pastels. It was fun to listen to Tchaikovsky and draw with them.
Picture
Beautiful pictures with the oil pastels!! 
Picture
Musical ABC heart <3
Picture
Learning our beginning music theory with Music Mind Games materials!!

Picture
Woo. playground time! 
Picture
Picture
After both teams happened to end the week in a tie with 80 points each, we got to celebrate with an ice cream party!! 
Picture
Mrs. Kayla was our volunteer for both weeks & we had a blast having her with us!!! 
Picture
Dress rehearsal for our concert for the parents! 
Picture
It was such a great two weeks & I thoroughly enjoyed introducing all the kids to violin playing. Can't wait for next year :D
