The last piano lesson of each calendar year is dedicated to my annual RECORDING STUDIO WEEK! This is one of my favorite weeks of the year. (The students usually feel this way, too!) I will send home a handout with each of my students containing information about this week's lesson, but just in case you don't see it (that never happens, right?) I will give the same information here:
"The week of December 14 - 18 will be our last piano lesson of the year! It will also be our annual "recording studio" lesson! Students will choose 3 - 6 of their favorite and most polished songs from the year to record. Usually recital pieces are good choices for this, as well as some of their favorite songs from their books. I will then turn their recordings into musical CD's. This is a great opportunity to review all we have learned so far (or this year) and to remember the student's favorite songs. The student should have a list of the songs he/she has chosen to record in their piano notebooks.
I will give each student one CD of their recorded music as my Christmas gift to them! You may have additional copies of the CD if you wish; each additional CD is $1. You will need to email or call and make arrangements with me if you want additional CD's.
Please be sure that your student brings any music they want to record to this week's lesson, especially if it is a recital piece or another song that is not in their usual piano books. Please call if you have any questions, suggestions, or comments."
I think you will find that these CD's become treasured keepsakes as you collect them over the years, and your student can hear how they have matured and improved in their piano playing over time. I am definitely looking forward to our annual 'recording studio' lesson!
