With my classical training and Master's in Education I've found a way to make piano lessons fun, easy to understand, and effective for the beginner to intermediate student by thinking outside the music box! Join me in the quest to make learning piano as magical as music is to the listener.

Update: Candy Cup Throw
-Total game time 5 minutes
-Children up to 8 years of age will throw hearts in the first 6 cups
-every 2 cups equals one prize sheet sticker
-Children older than 8 years of age can throw hearts in all 10 cups
-1st 3 cups equals a sticker, next 4 another sticker, and the last 3 one final sticker
-They must pitch hearts in sequential order (cup 1, then 2, 3, etc.)
-If a heart lands in a cup out of sequence it will count if/when they get to it
-Get a heart in the targeted cup, answer the question correctly, move onto the next cup
Ideas for questions:
-show pictures of musical terms for students to identify
-have them roll the dice from my "note rollers" blog and locate notes on the piano
-have students solve musical math problems drawn on index cards
Ex. (Dotted half note x whole) + half note=
Until next time......
