Notes Did awesome work on last piece! Passed it and started The Bee - again, good sight-reading work and was really excited about reading! Plays computer program with dad that really seems to make a difference! Actually a lot more interested in learning to read now. More work on Canon in D. Back, passed Comin Round the Mountain! Did great work reading next piece - really read a good chunk of it. Absent, sick. Not sure what to do about book - is more or less refusing to read song we're on, should I pass or move to a new book? Not sure. May add Hal Leonard book 1? They use less finger numbers. Real progress in relation to reading by writing though I think. Will be out of town for recital. Wrote song using noteflight? Comin Round the Moutain, still by ear. Did great spot check reading. Worked on music reading through music-writing - best progress yet? We will see. Brought in Darkness falls, started approximation. Mostly has Comin Round the Mountain by ear. Back. Hedwig's Theme, Jerricho, struggling with Bluebells of Scotland. Absent, fever. Did really well in both book songs, Mom says he practiced. Added more to Fur Elise. Going slow but expect him to get it Still going slow with paper ships. Fur Elise. Almost had freak-out when I crossed numbers out in pen but stayed calm. Reeeally needs to learn to read without numbers. Great with Linus and Lucy, started next section of Fur Elise Good. Paper ships, Linus and Lucy Back. Doing well in red book. Started Linus and Lucy 2 hands alternating. Absent. In Disney Doing well with Fur Elise. started peanuts Doing well. Will need new project soon. Comin Round the Mountain - more motivated to read, but not really reading it. Darkness Falss

Notes Worked with Tim on rhythm for Angel Eyes, definite improvement this week. Talked about using dramatic arm movements for transitions, especially pauses, spot-checked a few places in song. Wants to do Skyscraper or How to Save a Life next. Doing great, fantastic on Angel Eyes, discussed recital, gave encouragements. Absent Gave book, first pages were very easy but found good place. C Scale. Played Pride and Prejudice and Jim Brickman for her, she liked so will aim for those for fun music in a few weeks. Doing great on everything. G scale again. Learned Bb in key of F, dotted half notes. Read some Bartok Still very good on everything, at better level now in book. G scale. Accents. Will need extra music soon. Did well with practice, very solid on songs she did, went on herself to various pieces in the book. Learned sharps, flats, naturals, and accents. Took few new songs and G scale. First lesson. Trial, clearly talented but doesn't remember names of notes above G in treble clef or any bass clef. Read some two hand unison studies for me. Self-motivated, mom says this is her decision. Little sister Laila to take same time lessons with Tim.

Mostly focused on Angel Eyes, she thinks she's horrible, as per discussing the recital and compared to little kids. I gave encouragement - really doing super well on Angel Eyes and in general. More Angel Eyes again. Learned 2nd chunk of song - only like 8 more bars to learn. Re-discussed recital and gave more encouragement. Bits of progress in book. Angel Eyes - knows whole song! Probably will not do recital, still want to encourage her to - talk to parents? Learned how to pedal, started adding it to beginning of song.

Notes Back, has trouble with high notes in Reflection even though they are easily in her range - was practicing with youtube instead of CD. Might do Journey to the Past instead of Reflection - both have issues but Journey to the Past less obvious. Absent. Absent. Memorized song, did fantastic job. Worked especially on consonants, focusing forwards. Worked in book this week. Reflection - good sense of relative pitch, sometimes struggles to find initial pitch at beginning of new phrase or after large jump. Good lessons, First lesson. Discussed what she wants - very mature, loves and writes plays, wants web-show fame a la ICarly, sang "Just Around the Riverbend" from Anastasia. High-range voice, even though says likes pop will probably gravitate more to Broadway. Writes own songs - will listen?

Notes Jacobsens, Lauren, Sarah all missing. Siya will do show. Doing great on their song - need to remember which verse comes first. Sometimes shouting chorus - need to make sure they use "pretty voices" even when being loud - we discussed that we do this by taking deep breaths and making space. Ariella and all Jacobsens much better this week. Made progress on song. Ariella was a big problem, no sticker and talked to Dad about it. Shannon's sister in for her. First two verses of Who Says, practiced standing in front of mirror. Other two Jacobson girls now forming larger part of behavior problem along with Shaylee. May withhold stickers next week. Learned 2nd verse of song. Girls sound pretty strong on first verse and choruses. Sophia antsy but Ariella being mean to her and stubborn is a bigger problem. Kids very rude and ill-behaved, need to be reminded frequently to sing loud. Had to sit on shapes. Total of 10 now. Sophia potential behavior problem. Started Who Says, will be good choice for this class. 2 New girls. Started Makes You Beautiful Absent. Subbing for Shannon. Did more warm-ups, This Is Me, Fireflies. Mom watched Last 5 Minutes. Showed warm-ups, both songs. Doing Great with "This Is Me". Reviewed Monster Mash and warm-ups. Started This Is Me. First class. One student, Abbie. Taught warm-ups, worked a bit on Monster Mash. Will need new song after October, possibly before.

Notes Dana not feeling well, but very cooperative. Good progress on song and great in piano. Did shortened segment. Zaina really doing great with reading - I passed her a little early out of her last song because she hated it. Doing very well with the "Shortbread Boogie" as next piece, it has familiar things, learned new jump of 6th, and we analyzed it thoroughly before she started and she's doing great. Did her song perfectly for voice - practiced with Microphone and sang for Mom and Dad. Zaina conquered her piece but still seems doubtful. Read new piece well but still not confident. Says she has trouble remembering which ways are up and down on the keyboard - will start scales and monkey game next week? Dana brought wrong book and did fantastically in the other book but wasn't terribly cooperative. Good work on singing song though. Staying!!! Zaina doing really well in her piano book, will be very ready for recital. Dana wants to play both pieces by herself - needs practice on My Favorite Things Locked down recital pieces for both. Zaina struggling in book but doing very well. Worked on annunciation in Colors of the Wind. Dana doing great with note-reading, not so good at sitting still. Started Winter Wonderland. Zaina sings Do Re Mi. Working really hard but doing awesome in piano. Leaving?? Zaina very emotional with "The Best Day". Good progress both in piano, Dana great voice. Both doing well. More time! Zaina doing fantastic in piano. More interested in piano than voice, but started This Is Me. Dana sang her sister's songs but I want her to do her own. Met father. Dana has problems with whole long day but did well in her piano. Will finish book quickly and be ready for next level. Added the time! We'll start on it next week. Zaina started with structured writing. Dana whining. Zaina did song for school. Dana hitting point in book where she really needs to practice - I will tell Mom next week. Zaina working hard and doing great. Both girls playing with writing own notes. Added more time! Dana doing great also - time for singing? Doing great! Zaina super motivated, has song she might bring in from her school play. Dana started next book, doing great with that. Really need another half hour Dana at end of book. Zaina progressing nicely, still reads too much by numbers Both doing well. Dana doing fantastic. Will need to skip into next book. Zaina struggled with piano pieces - still very dependent on finger numbers. Will have her do Hal Leonard, then Aaron before moving to Level 2. Voice Pocohantas & Hakuna Matata. Really need more time with girls - does Dana want to sing? Zaina into Pocohantas. Did very well in general. Dana was great. Zaina wonderful helping her. First lesson starting back up. Only 10 minutes. Sang Pocohantas and Circle of Life. Will bring piano books next time.

Notes Soft palette progress really improving. Will do well in recital. Tried take it to the limit in G and in C, in C lower notes growl a little and we need to work on it. Better on last note in Ragtime. Settled on lower key for Take it to the Limit. Ragtime good except trouble with last note again - discussed options. Thinks he will attend recital. Worked on Take it to the Limit in higher key but hearing vocal fatigue towards the end - will try in lower key. Did great job on Ragtime! Even last note! Needs to work on words memory. Discussed which octave to do Take it to the Limit in - I prefer lower. I think he really needs to support his falsetto more carefully Ragtime awesome, but last note still needs better consistency. Worked on Take it to the Limit, discussed vocal styles - I prefer clearer tone but he wants some kind of "mellow growl". I suggested Paul Simon for emotion + clear tone. Bereaved for Cat, Ragtime good to go except last note, started Take it to the Limit Major work on Ragtime - last note is BAD! Absent, business trip. Worked more on finding pitches through Head voice. Only the Good Die Young. Make Them Hear You. Finished Mr. Cellophane, progress with head voice shifts. Mostly same. Only the Good Die Young, Mr. Cellophane. Problem with punching high notes too hard at the end Back, more relaxed. Finally finished for the longest time. Absent. Absent. Baby? Slight regressive progress. Doing better with communication between us. Continued progress in Billy Joel - got all the way through. Focused on relaxation. Progress with switching into falsetto for high notes For the Longest Time. Progress with opening vowels and suspending the ng in longest For the Longest Time, Mr. Cellophane. Worked on forehead tension via frowning - gotta stop that. Back, good work on Ragtime, done with OTGDY

Progress in working with book. Really starting to remember high and low on piano, find groups of notes accurately. Not proccessing writing on board. Ready for book? Met dad. Significantly better, remember high/low. Still trouble focusing, may have to move board activities until the end or else he wants to do it whole class. Just Jonathan. Very young three, does not know numbers or letters. Did finger numbers, 2's and 3's, high and low, beats and writing notes. Very distracted, will need help focusing.
