I found your website by accident! I could not agree with you more in regards to those teenagers and music choices. I have a 13 yr old right now that I struggle with and we have come up with an agreement like your 50/50. Life is so much easier for both of us!

Thanks for the great post!

Thanks for these sheets, Wendy.

If you have time, I know I could use simple rhythm DUET sheets, like Question/Answer lines but also overlapping rhythms… I have seen your duet rhythm sheets, but they are too hard for the kids I have in mind, and the background quarter note pulse sheet is too easy. What do you think? My students love counting “competition.”

Thanks

Hi Mindy,

I’m glad you think they’ll be a help in your studio. I’m always looking for creative things for my students to do to practice the basic skills of piano. Using creative sounds keeps them exploring in what might otherwise be a boring task…don’t hesitate to share any ideas you come up with!

Thank you for those Rhythm Sheets. I have downloaded all of them and plan to use them in my studio. The interesting sounds idea is very good; a lot more interesting than clapping!

What a great site. Thanks for sharing! I love that they can choose the pieces they are familiar with and then print their custom list. Brilliant!
