Good Night Daisy

It's always sad to say 'Goodbye" so instead, we always say "Goodnight' like in this song. Daisy wanted to say Goodnight especially to Singapore, so she wrote the words that say, "mm my beautiful Singapore, mmm I'll miss you from a distant shore....'  Goodnight Daisy, and all the best to you in your musical endeavor back in England!

Belated Christmas Greetings!

Here's Astrid, my youngest student joining us here with Jingle Bells!

Post-Christmas Greetings from Jadyn and Janna!

Jadyn announces the Good News that 'Jesus is born' with these 2 songs: Good News and Go Tell It On The Mountain'

And here's a lullaby for Jesus - Away in a manger

And Here's Jadyn telling Jesus How she loves Him.

And now for some Christmas Jingles: Jingle Bells and Deck The Hall.

Christmas Don't Be Late!

I love the chipmunks and I love this song, be it the waltz or the rock version, it's all what the children want to say, right?

1. Daisy and Jade did the song in C Major. Some parts are a little high and I wish we had more time to work on it but still, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

2. Jesse did the sweet version of this song and then he rock it using the electric guitar. Obviously he enjoyed the rock version more! 

Christmas Greetings from Tracy!

Tracy is one of my most diligent student. She has worked hard each week and I'm sure you will enjoy her Christmas carols as much as I do!

1. Jingle Bells

2. Away in a manger

3. O Come All Ye Faithful

4. We Wish You A Merry Christmas

Well done Ethan, keep it up!

Ethan has been building up his 'stamina' and is now able to play longer songs (like Jungle wedding and Jingle Bells). Keep working on Jingle bells and let your music ring this festive season! Have a blessed Christmas!

1. Jungle Wedding

2. Riding on the Escalator

3. Jingle Bells

4. Cuckoo Clock 

Alex - the boy who fills the studio with laughter!

Alex is one boy that brings laughter to the studio. Here is a clip of him doing some theory (keyboard names) on my iPad. It's amusing watching him!

2. Jungle Wedding

3. Racoon Lullaby

Like most of the young students, Alex is not ready to play the song 2 times (as stated in the book). It takes time to build stamina in young students. So that's what we will continue to work on next year. In the meantime, enjoy the holiday and have a blessed Christmas!

You have done well Mila, keep it up!

Here's Mila, she completed Piano Adventure Book A this year and has started on Book B. Here's the last post this year....we didn't have enough time to work on our Christmas songs since we ended our lessons in November, but I'm sure she can play it much better by now. Here's the last few footage for 2011, enjoy them and have a blessed Christmas!

1. We Wish You A Merry Christmas
