Anna Cannon Music Studio Newsletter Term Three 2010

 

 

Hi everyone

Hope you are all having an enjoyable holiday and come back to lessons refreshed.  My study this semester is about motivation and learning.  Already I have learnt some very interesting theories and ideas which I will share with you over the next few months.  Sometimes as music teachers we can get carried away with the importance of exams and forget the process of learning and the mastery of the instrument are far more important.  This has always been my focus, but it is good to be reminded.  Learning should be fun, and mastery of our instrument our focus.  Exams can help us towards that goal, but they should not be our only goal.
