A New Crop
Congratulations to the graduates of Book 40!
On Sunday, October 21 Lydia H., Maddy K., Taylan M. and Karina Q. gave an exclusive recital for their families to celebrate their completion of the basic piano course. Each student played several pieces from the curriculum and several supplementary pieces. My goodness, they flitted on and off stage with alacrity.
The students who brought canned goods to donate to the Alameda Food Bank were entered into the drawing for one of Ms. Queener's homemade pies. Taylan won!
Everyone won, the studio overflowed with pride from parents and students. Katy and Ms. Q agreed that the students deserved every bit of applause they received.
Now, it is on to the intermediate course. Let the music begin.
About Me
- Carolyn Queener
- Alameda, California
- • I teach piano because I love to teach as much as I love music. My studio is welcoming and friendly; classes offer reasonable rates and the opportunity to approach music without fear or intimidation. • I specialize in beginning classes that emphasize music reading and comprehensive musicianship for a lifetime of enjoyment. • My group setting offers students fun and effective lessons to help your student become an independent musician for life as well as play piano. My students tend to continue lessons longer and enjoy music in a variety of settings. • I look forward to meeting you and your child and helping you reach your music goals. Classes start often. queenerspiano@aol.com
