The Most Important Ingredient:  The Students!
 

   Camille, age 15, is 10th grader at Lake Region High School.
She loves the piano because it challenges her and is a good stress reliever.  Her advice to new
players is to practice as much as you can and if you feel frustration you are making progress!
Her favorite composer is Yiruma.  She is currently working on a piece of his called "May Be."
Her favorite subject at school is World History.  She loves to swim and go running or hang out with
friends in her spare time.  She is considering a career in forensics.  I have loved getting to know
you, Camille.  You have a lot of natural talent.  Keep practicing!
 

Alex, age 9, is a 4th grade homeschooler.  He loves the way
the piano sounds and feels.  His advice to anyone just starting out with the piano is to practice
each piece at least 10 times every day.  He loves music that is fast and loud!  His favorite
subject is math and when he has free time, he like to make models.  He has a train set
and is enjoying landscaping it.  He is considering several career choices---firefighter,
police officer or a mailman.  Keep practicing, Alex.  You are making progress!
 
 

   Megan, age 16, is a junior at Fryeburg Academy.  She loves the piano
because it feels good to be challenged and to work hard.  She also loves composing and listening to music.
Her advice to a new player is to be disciplined when you practice.  Do the most difficult things first.
Be consistent.  She loves to listen to New Age piano, particularly, George Winston.  She has seen him
in concert and will again this next March.  Her favorite subject is science.  In her spare time, she likes
to knit, ice skate, and do arts and crafts.  She is hoping to have a career teaching music.  You are a wonderful
student, Megan.  I am very proud of you and the hard work you put into the music you so obviously love!
