Making piano lessons fun and engaging!

Happy Fall!  I am loving this cooler weather.  Okay, I'm just going to jump right in.  WAIT!  I have to show you this pic of my dog in a pet stroller.  Yes, I've joined the crazy folk who go for long walks with their pets in strollers.......sigh.  Don't judge!  Don't get me wrong, he gets his daily walks as well but this allows the booger to be outdoors more often when I go on my longer walks.   He didn't know what to think of this.  I think his face says it all!  With time he'll get used to it.  I hope. Okay, back to piano blogging........ So this week and next, my students will be playing a game I call "Candy Coordinates".  This idea is a modified version of "Battleship" and quite a few versions of  it are floating around sites like "Pinterest" but I made it work for piano!  I purchased 4 mini display boards (you know, the trifolds like the one to the left if you're looking at the web version of this blog)...
