The Big Tree

Hello Friends!  I am so pleased to announce our new student, Lula!  She comes to us from Texas and plays the cello.

Here is Lula in her pretty "meet dress".  We were amazed at how much she looks like my mom! 

Lula wanted to see the sights, so we took a short trip out to the Wawheap Picnic Area by Lake Powell. 

And then we saw the tree....

It's a big tree, but it will it will
 give a beautiful view of the lake!

Time for some teamwork!

We can do this!

Mmmuggumhp...Upsy daisy!  
Hurry up Lula,your steppingon my hair!

Wow!  Look at the view from here!  We can see all the way to Castle Rock!
 I told you we could do it, Karen.  We CAN do hard things if we try!

Lula's Practice Tip

If there is a hard part in your music, take a small section - one or two measures - and learn each hand separately - this is like teamwork.  When the hands can each play their part, then play them together, being careful to play the correct notes.  If you need to, repeat practicing the hands separately, until together they can play correctly.  Each hand is part of a team!
