For students who are preparing for practical examinations this year, I have asked them to pratise all scales in contrary motion. Some students find playing the same thing over and over again boring. Playing the same scales in contraty motion is something new and it will require students to think while playing.
One of the students whom I am planning to teach as my project 1 did not work out well. Though teaching her through methods like listening and singing the melody, working through separate hands , looking out for patterns but the progress is not to my minimum satisfaction.
I have planned to teach a group lesson this June . Lesson will be evolved around Antonin Dvorak 's Humoroeske. Another group lesson will be focusing on theory and rehearsal for June Recital. One sesison will be the June Recital - dedicated to parents.
I have finally lay my hands on the grade 6 alternative pieces - Zipoli and Oscar Peterson, I need to go easy on my playing as my right wrist hurts. Rachel is inspired to play after hearing me play many pieces. It is encouraging to see her playing Soiree Polka and Edvard Grieg's piece.
Piles of books waiting for me to arrange them on the new shelf and for me to study.
I had an idea of teaching around a theme each quarter . The music room should be decorated accordingly and pieces should be based on the theme. I am thinking of a theme for May- June . I am interested to start a studio that works this way, providing teachers support and guidance. The ideas can be marketed to private teachers as well . Well, it is possible . God leads the way if He is the one that provide the vision of " Noah's music ark"
