Ah, summer ­— the season of beach vacations, picnics, ice cream cones, and diligent music practice. Oh, wait – maybe not that last one there. In fact, with all of summer's fun activities and with some music students opting to take the summer off, it’s possible for a musical instrument to go days or even (gulp) weeks without attention. Luckily, whether you’re a music teacher, parent or music student, we have a few creative tips and ideas to keep music practice appealing during this sunny, summer season… https://www.merideewintersmusicmethod.com/blogs/meridee-winters-blog/5-tips-for-magical-musical-summer-practicing #musicteacher #musicteacherlife #teachingmusic #musiceducator #musiclessons #pianolessons #guitarlessons #familymusic #iloveteaching #beginningpiano #beginnerpiano #beginningmusiclessons #beginnermusiclessons #musicblog #musicteacherblog #musiceducatorblog #welovewhatwedo
We are excited to announce the winner of our first ever Creative Spins Contest! Congrats to MW student Zac, with his song “Four More Seasons.” Zac’s creative spin used sophisticated jazz harmony to combine several seasonally-themed pieces into one – including “Autumn Leaves,” “White Christmas,” Vivaldi’s “Spring” and “Summertime.” Visit our Facebook page to view his video. This contest was an invitation for students participating in our spring shows to put their own creative “spin” on their performance piece. We’re so proud of all of our creative participants! They added their own sections, created unique combinations of songs with original transitions, added fun lyrics and so much more. (And, of course, a number of our creative students created their entirely own pieces this year, which is also fantastic!) We’d also like to recognize these students with an honorable mention: Delilah App Lorenzo Azar Liron Brunner Miranda Clapp Gabrielle Davidow Matty de Jesus Sarah Epstein Lucy Fagan Sophia Glickman Gabriel Karge Enzo Kelly Naysha Kharode Samantha Kopelman Charlotte Marsh Chelsea Poli Natalie Polsky James Snyder Eva Soldatovich Blake Waldmann Catherine Ware Rylen Wyatt Wang
