Happy birthday to Sierra and Ethan! Be on the lookout for the Composer of the Month clues tomorrow - he was also born in September!

If you happen to know a Mr. Handel, Mr. Haydn, Mr. Mozart, Mr. Chopin, Mr. Cage, Mr. Debussy, or Mr. Liszt, be sure to remind them about their very important job interview on August 30th! They'll know what I mean

At our studio workshop today, we came to the conclusion that dogs are musical instruments, and so are filing cabinets. Pass it along!

Congratulations to June's top practicers! First place: Aggie Bohanon-Mullet with 27 hours Second place: Destiny Holman with 24 hours 10 minutes Third place: Sierra Kimbell with 19 hours 7 minutes... Last month's Piano Olympics bonus event had two teams competing against each other to see how much each team practiced. On one team, every student at High Desert Piano. On the other team it was just me! Well...the results are in, and the studio practiced for 153 hours, and I practiced for 60 hours! All of your Piano Olympics points for last month will be multiplied by 2.5!

Here's the clues for June's Composer of the Month. She's reaaaallly old, and lived long before the piano existed! Submit your guesses on Flipgrid by June 28th.

The Piano Olympics bonus event is really interesting this month! Let's compare how much the studio practices compared to the piano teacher! At the end of the month, all of the students' practice time will be added up and compared to mine. Bonus points will be given out to the whole studio based on how far ahead the Students are. Right now, the students have practiced for a combined 508 minutes, and I have practiced for 510 minutes!

Congratulations to the Top Practicers from May! First place: Aggie Bohanon-Mullet with 30 hours Second place: Destiny Holman with 24 hours 33 minutes Third place: Stacy Berro with 18 hours 55 minutes... Good job!

If you missed the recital, or would like to share it with someone who wasn't able to make it, you can still find it on YouTube!

The Composer of the Month for May was J.S. Bach, considered to be one of the most influential keyboard composers! Congratulations to the students that guessed correctly! Stay tuned for the June clues later today!
