I am just starting out and only have a few students but this game has been fun! I have a student that doesn’t like to count beats but she will now count “drip” and “rainbow” because of this game- helping her rhythm so much!! I also did this with my 4 year old daughter and it was a huge hit!

Hi, I teach chorus and general music. I have been using the SMART Board in my classroom and was browsing to find other sites and activities for my rather large classes. This site is very well done and easy to navigate through. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Good luck with all your future endeavors!

here is how I deal with a 4 story Victorian money pit..circa 1905…
we have radiators in every room and hall and also a heat pump system for forced air furnace and summer air conditioning..$$$$$$
find a pretty/interesting bowl,pottery etc and keep it filled with water, on top of every radiator……
check it every few days…your nose will thank you…no more dry nose bleeds.

love your blog …even a seasoned teacher like myself can pick up great ideas from all the younger,enthusiastic teachers…’

they are really cute! I tried to make one but it came out small. It should though right? It’s a mini keyboard. Great idea! :)

Thanks for the idea and the website- I need to add these cards to my game box. I had a teen student inform me today that she is never too old for games! :) I love seeing their eyes light up when I say “Let’s play a game!”

Hello Joy,
It’s so refreshing and motivational going through your hard working website. I do use “My first piano adventure” for 5 and 6 yrs old. It is a success, little fingers love it!
Keep up the great service.

Just an update: We ordered the same hygrometer and have been using it for the past week. What an eye opener!! Even keeping the humidifier at the same level all day, we’ve noticed a large range of humidity: from 30%-60%!! So, we adjust the humidifier level as needed. So glad you blogged about it….

We also bought a tuning hammer last week, figuring that we can do some small tuning adjustments when needed. Over the past year, I’ve had the piano tuner here 6 times!! Sometimes just for small (but incredibly bothersome) changes, but it’s just been so expensive. So, we experimented with the tuning hammer over the weekend and made some small adjustments to a few of the problem notes and now we can’t believe that we didn’t order one earlier!!! Does anyone else adjust the tuning on their own piano?
