OCTOBER SUGGESTIONS -
Have you watched Janna Williamson, who teaches in our Illinois backyard? Check out her online information. She has a wealth of material available to inspire you.

What about the student who had no time to practice this week?
Try using an idea from Jason Zac. The student will be excited to explore their instrument further. Perhaps to the point of actually playing an assigned piece. Instead of feeling like they wasted their lesson, they can discover something that allows them to spring into a new direction with their exploring.
You can check out his approach here with his five exciting music challenges for 2022.

For those students working in the upper levels of AIM, they may enjoy Julian Bradley’s approach to the modes. I find his various explanations clear to follow and accurate. That is not always the case with other online explanations.

Greg Niemczuk has given over 400 performances in the last fifteen years. Due to the pandemic in April 2020 he launched an unprecedented wordwide project to record videos-lectures on all the works of Fryderyk Chopin. All together more than 315 episodes were made in two languages (Polish and English) published on YouTube and on Grzegorz's Facebook fanpage. He has gone on to analyze and perform hundreds of Chopin’s compositions. It makes sense, that by studying all of a composer’s compositions, one would be able to have a deeper understanding of them. His lectures are a treasure to explore.
Enjoy the volume of performances and lectures available.
