News Flash: Chomper vs. Doug the Pug
Due to the success of Doug the Pug, Chomper has been beside himself. In a recent interview, Chomper said, "Doug the Pug ain't got nothin on me! Has anyone seen me skateboard, shoot hoops, or what not? At 11 years of age I don't have the computer skills to keep up with youtube and stuff...." Although Chomps plans on possible management and future videos to show his many talents, he is concerned that fame will take away from his sleeping, scratching, eating, and rump spin time. To be continued..........

Summer is the Best Time for Lessons!
"As a kid I remember having summer off from school and enjoying the time to take lessons and practice as much as I could. I would bring my guitar outside and enjoy the weather and work on a bunch of songs. I would have a good balance of skateboarding, swimming, as well as other sports, riding ATV's, working outside jobs, and music. We were, fortunately, not addicted to computers and video games as I see with a lot of kids today." Mike Benninger - director
Here are some of the benefits for taking lessons during the summer:
Fun and Motivating - Summer is the perfect time to break from the routine and help the students learn music of their choice whether it be a song they heard on the radio or a challenging classical piece.
Greater Focus- Without the worries of homework, sports games and practices, and other school-time activities, the students can devote time and attention to their summer music lessons and practice. Better focus leads to better practice!
Time for Something New - Many of our students show interest in learning an additional instrument during the school year. Summer is the best time to try out a new instrument.
No Backtracking - When students take a full summer break from their instruments, it only means one thing - time to backtrack in the Fall! Everyone knows that saying, "If you don't use it, you lose it." This is true in all disciplines including learning how to play an instrument. Instead of back tracking for the first month or two in the Fall, our students use their summer music lessons to keep making progress.

Practice Tip of the Month!
WARM UP ROUTINE: Even if you do only 5 minutes it's a good idea to warm up with a scale, pattern, arpeggio, or a song you know well. This will set the pace for when it's time to work on the newer/harder songs/pieces. It will result in practicing more efficiently as well as becoming a better player more quickly. Talk to your teacher about this.
