Baby is due soon! I will not be teaching for several weeks as I will be spending time with my husband as we welcome baby into the world. I am available by phone or email, so please reach out to me. You can even leave a comment on this blog and I will connect with you! Thank you for your understanding.

Go to a concert!

Check out some jazz music: http://www.yelp.com/biz/wards-rafters-honolulu

…I’ve heard its great. Its free, but donations are welcomed.

Bring a friend and ask these questions as you listen:

What does this song make me feel?
How fast or slow is the tempo?
Is this played by one or more instruments?
What dynamics are happening thoughtout the piece?
Was I surprised by anything?
What skills does the performer have that I would like to learn?
Am I watching how the performer sits at the piano?
Do I know who composed the piece?

Another venue to check out is: http://www.yelp.com/biz/wards-rafters-honolulu This is a jazz venue…I’ve yet to go myself. Its free, but donations are welcomed.

Let me know what you experience! And if you know of upcoming concerts, leave a comment with the date, time and other important details.
