My pop video!

I have uploaded my pop video to you tube, it brings back the good old days. It was recorded using Reel-to Reel and filmed using VHS. Its madness! I was studying at the local college in Omagh, N.Ireland. The guys featuring in it where my colleagues. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Introducing activities to the piano lesson!

Recently, I have found a couple of my students are finding it a little difficult to stay focused throughout the piano lesson, and are not practicing at home. It must be hard having so many technologies available, i.e game consoles and the internet! So I have found a couple of music resource websites that have loads of games/activities and the option to download for free. I tried some out on my students, and they went down a storm. I think I had more fun than them to be honest. I have also introduced reward charts, which seems to keep them focused more as well. I just wish I had more time to create some of my own. It definitely brings more life to the lessons!
