We are about 3 weeks into the summer vacation and the fun may be wearing off for some children.  I know it seems weird, but we all flourish with some steady routines. 

PIANO lessons and practice present a wonderful framework to hold the days together.  Over the years, I have discovered that students can make terrific progress with their piano skills.  Since they don’t have school homework, there is plenty of time for practice. 

MORNING is a great time for practice because the brain is fresh and alert.  Afternoons are good because we should stay out of the heat.  Or, if the day is too full, how about a little evening concert while the last light of day disappears?

YOU may not catch that big fish, or get to see the Himalayas, or win the big prize, but if you practice this summer you will be assured of one good thing:  you will be a better piano player.
