This year, as a slight variation on the Composer of the Month series which we had last year, de Muso Music Studio is featuring the Music of the Month series.
Each month, a different genre of music will be highlighted. Students will learn general information about the genre and play pieces related to it. We kicked of the series in February 2014 with Music from Musicals. The song Summer Nights from the musical, Grease was the piece that students learnt.
This year, students of de Muso Music Studio will take part in the 40 Piece Challenge. The 40 Piece Challenge is an Australian initiative to encourage piano students to learn more pieces and hence improve their piano-playing skills. Students are challenged to learn and master 40 pieces in one year. These will include their exam pieces as well as pieces of their own choice. Students who complete the challenge will receive a certificate at the end of the year. More information about this initiative can be found at www.40piecechallenge.com.au
