Technology Month

Hello Students!

     I am so excited to kick off our Technology Month!  We will be learning about many different ways  to incorporate technology in to music.  I hope you will enjoy the change of pace!

   Each week I will post a minimum of three specific challenges per category to complete.  Challenges will be divided into three categories: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced.  Please start with the Beginner challenges.  If you can accomplish those quickly and easily, move on to the Intermediate, and then Advanced.  Typically, if you are in your first year of piano you will only get through the Beginner challenges.  However, I do not want to limit anyone so feel free to challenge yourself!

  Upon completion of your challenges, please post (or have your parents post) a comment stating your name (or initials), what you completed and your score (if any), and which challenge was your favorite.  I will track how many challenges have been completed and if we have 50 completed by March's Masters Class, we will have a pizza party!  In addition, the student who has completed the most challenges will win a secret prize!

  Good luck, have fun, and keep music in your heart always!

Love, Camilla
