Leslie’s Music Studio was proud to present two recitals on Saturday, December 1st. Students performed at Schmitt Music in Overland Park. Each year, we feature a variety of holiday tunes alongside classical pieces.

“Count Metronome” Halloween Practice Challenge
The maleficent mascot of meter visited Leslie’s Music Studio this October… and stole all of our Halloween candy! (*Insert maniacal villain laugh*)
To conquer the king of counting and take back their candy, students meticulously practiced their pieces with the metronome this month. Individual metronome challenges were assigned and completed and candy bags were filled one rhythmic reward at a time.
Winter Recital 2016
On Saturday, December 3, 2016 Leslie’s Music Studio presented our annual Winter Recital at Schmitt Music in Overland Park. Students played pieces in a variety of styles, including Christmas and holiday, classical, and contemporary.
Students traced their hands on green paper before the recital and we made this fun piano hands wreath!
Spring Recital 2014
I have always felt that giving a recital is a nice reward after putting in many hours of practice. How fun to show off what we are learning and get to share music with each other! This was a first piano recital for several students, and they all did so well. Continue reading
Sticking Around
It has been a great semester for Leslie’s Music Studio. I am already looking ahead and planning some exciting things for the studio for 2014-2015! Take a look:
- Record an Album – after learning a number of pieces and completing lesson work, students will get to be the artist of their own CD! We’ll have a CD Release Party in the Park complete with ice cream, treats, and students’ recordings playing in the background.
- Piano Olympics – a day of fun music theory games and friendly competition! A chance to bring students together and learn cooperatively after “training” in their private lessons.
- Custom Music Journals – each student will receive a custom LMS music journal with different sections for keeping track of practice assignments, learning sheets, listening activities and journals, achievement records, and sheet music for composing. A great way to track lesson progress, and milestones.
I hope you’ll stick around to be a part of what’s coming up next for LMS!
