It’s nice to hear from you! I will definitely have to check this program out. From what you say, it does sound like a good investment. I think that we are on the same page about when to have my first recital. I can’t wait for this to happen. I know what you mean about students playing the same piece! I remember this happening when I was taking lessons! I remember how exited I was to play my piece when I was about 13. The next years recital, another boy played the same thing, and I will NEVER forget it. I wouldn’t want this to happen with my students.

I actually let them pick their main peices. This seems to help them work harder on them. I have also noticed that there is a much larger sense of self accomplishment when they do have their peices polished. I actually just recently had one of my new students pick the same piece as another one of my students. I did let her know about this. She was still okay with it. I will definitely make sure that when it comes to a recital, they will play different things though. People are unique; their talent should be showcased in the same manner. I also told my other student that she picked the same piece. I asked her to play it for her at our next lessons (which seemed to work out great because their lessons are back to back). She was VERY happy about this. They both were really. So all is well and every one is on the same page. No surprises.

I appreciate your and Mindy’s feedback on “The lessons done when I say it’s done”. I completely get this. I am just a very “chatty” person and need to work on my timing. An hour lesson can easily turn into an hour and a half with Miss Suzie, LOL!

The idea of using a spreadsheet of your own template is a wonderful idea. I will be looking into this for sure.

Thanks again Dana! It was nice to hear your input!

1. The BEST INVESTMENT I EVER MADE was Finale — the music-writing program. It accelerated what I love doing best, turning out arrangements of music for my students, chord charts, exercise sheets. Don’t know what I’d do without it.

2. Baby songs are okay. Simple songs can be beautiful if they are played well. Have a recital when your students have 2 – 3 songs polished, and no two kids are playing the same piece! (I’ve broken that rule a number of times…) Parents like to see their children perform… it looks like their dollars at work! Drill the students on stage presence, and it won’t matter that they are beginners.

3. To organize my schedule, I use my own blank spreadsheet template from a Microsoft Works Excel – type program. I start with blank cells, and fill in the name, phone numbers, and address of each student. When schedules change each year, it’s easy to copy and paste from one cell to another.

4. Like Mindy, the lesson’s done when I say it’s done. I have a big clock on the wall, not too easy for the student to glimpse.

5. I hated travelling — haven’t done it since before I had kids (a long time ago!. If students are in a bad mood, they aren’t quite as polite in their own homes as they are in my studio, I think. A couple of times I felt like a servant in the house — won’t do that again.

Thanks for the guest interview!
