Holiday Season

Thursday, December 14, 2023 by Jennie Higgins | News

The Holiday is season is upon us. We are all busy with concerts, family and friends gathering together.  And joyous Christmas music fills the air. 


Our Christmas/Winter recital is finished and we look forward to a much needed break.  Only 1 more week of lessons left.  I have the videos for our recital, and I will be sending them in My Music Staff.  If you do not know how to access My Music Staff, I will do my best to find a way to send the video to you another say. OR I can help you access it in My Music Staff.  There is even a login page right here on my website. 


As the Christmas break is upon us so quickly, I am looking forward to beginning mid-year goals, exams are coming up quickly.  Registration for festivals and more are here.  And a new practice tracker!  YES!  We need a little reminder to practice over the Christmas break.  Don't forget to print your tracker, or request one from me in person. 


As well, we have a waiting list for new students again.  It has been quite the busy year.  I love it!  So much happening.  So many students learning and growing in their music journey.  I hope you love (Adamo) your music as much as I love sharing it with each and everyone one of you. 


Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And all the other holiday wishes to you and your families through this season.

Fall Lessons and New Instrument Policy

Hello Everyone, 

I am so excited to announce that there are a few spaces that have opened for fall registration. Thank you for your patience who were on my waiting list.  Because I have made space for all those on the waiting list.  And there are still a few spaces left. So don't miss out!


Now that our first week of lessons has finished, I wanted to let you know of a few changes around here. Just like before, registration forms along with your registration fee and first monthly amount must be returned to hold your time slot.  Here is the change, I know have an instrument requirement.  For voice and theory students only, this does not apply to you. This is for piano students.  


Our new instrument policy.  Home Instrument: An acoustic piano, or a digital piano that has a full-size keyboard (88 keys), has touch-sensitive keys, and at lease one pedal is required. This will give my students the proper tools to learn technique, and expression and access more repertoire.

There are so many smaller keyboards that vary in quality.  They do not help a student learn or stick to learning as much as piano, whether digital or acoustic. As my colleague from Paloma Piano says; "They do not sound or feel like a piano and practicing on a keyboard will be discouraging."


We have also found that having a better instrument inspires a student to practice and learn.  And as many of my posts say, practice is a vital part of learning any instrument. 


I know you appreciate me having a high quality instrument to teach your children on.  And it will be a great way to help students become better piano players too.  Because even if you have only been learning for a week or your whole life (like me), you are a pianist!  We want the best. Because you're worth it. 


Musically yours,

Mrs. Jenn
