Musical Moment #1

While many-a-musical moments have occurred here at the studio since it's inception, I have just decided to begin documenting them here on my blog.  This will be a great way to share with you the awesomeness that happens at JMM, all while helping me remember these unforgettable moments!

Student: Little X (4 years young).  Super bright, loves superheroes, and is a tad bit nervous about performing in his first piano recital.

During his lesson today we spent lots of time practicing performance and talking about his nervousness regarding his first ever piano recital.  I shared my feelings as well, as I too can relate to having the case of the jitter bugs before a performance.  This made him smile; I guess he felt that he wasn't alone.  He played his piece, practiced, and bowed over and again until finally, lesson time was up.

At sticker time, one of his stickers ripped.  I told him that I am a Sticker Superhero and I will save his sticker.  He said, "You're not a Sticker Superhero. You're a Performance Superhero. You help people who are scared to perform."  I asked him if I helped him today and he said "Yes!" with a big smile on his face!

I have now officially reached superhero status and "Yes!" it feels awesome!
