Piano Practice Pals for Kids - A Cool Gift Idea for Piano Students Helps Students Practice

By Cynthia VanLandingham

I've been teaching piano for many years and I have found a great way to encourage my young students to practice. During group piano lessons I put a practice pal on each student's piano. This year at the beginning of the school year I gave each student a special gift - a Piano Practice Pal for their piano at home. A Piano Practice Pal is a sweet little stuffed animal friend that students take home and put on their piano to keep them company while they practice. When a piano student accomplishes a new goal that is challenging for them I enjoy giving them a new piano practice pal in a different color to add to the collection on their piano at home. Children ages 5 to 11 as well as older children enjoy this special recognition and encouragement.

Some parents and piano teachers may think this is unnecessary because students don't need things to get them to practice. Well I'm not trying to get students to practice by bribing them with toys. I'm just showing them how they can make their piano practice time even more enjoyable. Why shouldn't piano practice be a fun as possible! Some of my students even like to talk to their practice pals from time to time during their practice. Other student's practice pals become piano student Cheer Leaders. I've even composed a song for my young students called the Piano Practice Pal Cheer!

My work is never done, I will always give a cheer - Whoooo! My piano student's near and so very, very dear - Whooo! Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, Way to Go! That's the way to be an Ace, it's much more work to make a face!

My work is never done, I will always give a cheer - Whoooo! My piano student's near and so very, very dear - Whoooo!

Practice, Practice, Practice, Practice, P-i-a-n-o! I'm such a chum to listen, pal, so please don't ever go!

Stay and have more music fun with your P - i - a - n - o, Chum, Chum, Chum.

I love helping children achieve their musical dreams by making piano lessons both challenging and fun! And you can too...

The Pressing Need for No-Glitch Voice Over Services

By Rajeev Dixit   With the world turning into one global village, the need for voice over talents has risen. The global village we envision the world to be has to speak a certain language. This happens to be English, for some it's the standard American English for other it's British English. The role of language in the expression of arts, culture, information and intellectual pursuits is indispensable. As today's people have become more attuned and interested in their neighboring countries and their cultures, the demand for multiple language voice over services has surpassed its merely trending status and is more likely to stay for good.

A Review of Musicnotes - Digital Sheet Music Dealer

Are you a musician? Can you find the sheet music you want? If you are anything like me, then the answer is no. Although the town I live in isn't that small, there still isn't a large selection of stores when it comes to music. There is only one small music store that I go to (and only on rare occasions) when I need something immediately, like guitar strings for example. When I want to buy sheet music though, that little shop isn't much help. There is only a small selection of sheet music for the most popular genres and most popular instruments. If you want to play Beethoven piano arrangements then you are fine, but if you want something else then you are out of luck. I couldn't find what I wanted in my area, so shopping online was my only alternative. After trying different online sheet music dealers I finally came across one that I really liked-Musicnotes. This website offered instant digital sheet music and I thought it sounded cool, but wasn't sure
