Let It Go….

I have to do this song 50 times every week (since the end of Janauary)…..some for my singers, some for my pianists…and each of them does it a little differently. But I enjoyed and am still enjoying each of them everyday...

1. Caragh sings as she plays….

2. 5-year-old Caitlin did this after a week...

Here's Caitlin and Timothy working together…sibling power!

3. Tracey figured out her own left hand accompaniment chords…

Jesse still working on his Little Pony Version where Princess Luna sings "be the good mare you always have to be…so stay tune for more to come!

Wishing all of you a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year!

1. Jadyn and Janna - We Wish You a Merry Christmas

2. Niamh - Jingle Bells

3. Matthew - A Jazzy Merry Christmas!

4. Jesse - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

1. Tracey - Dinosaur Stomp

Tracey forgot her music that day as she was busy being the flower girl of a relative's wedding. But it's something you shouldn't miss, so here's a recording of what we did during her lesson.

2. Jesse playing Chicken Dance and I Only Want To Be With You

3. Clare - inspired by the Barsky Boys' Beatles' Music, played us Let It Be.

Happy New Year 2013 !

Happy new year everyone! The Lord has blessed me richly in 2012 and I had a full month break in December. We had a good time in Taiwan and attached is a video of Jesse singing for me "What A Wonderful World" and indeed, what a wonderful world and a wonderful Lord!

I have never given Jesse singing lesson formally, but I am very happy with the improvement in singing. We were on our way from Taipei to Hualien, enjoying the scenery when he sang this for me. It may not be the most spectacular scenery but it was made the most beautiful by him. Thankyou my sunshine!

Jesse wishes everyone a very merry Christmas!

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!
