NWE Music Studio Director
By: Renee Bordner NWE Music Studio Director ![]() There is a saying that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb!. Last March came in like a lamb and went out like a lion! Let's hope that for this March, it goes out like a lamb. Spring will be in the air, the days will be longer, we will have the luck of the Irish and flowers will be blooming soon. Our students will be preparing for ABRSM theory exams, Piano Guild auditions, and our first ever Note-worthypalooza! We have also added some workshops to help our students and parents to assist them in preparing for these events. We are looking forward to warmer weather so we can have additional outdoor in person lessons. Our instructors will also continue to host Free Family Fun Night Concerts on Thursdays. We appreciate you and your support during this past year and we are looking forward to brighter days ahead. Musically yours, Renee By: Renee Bordner NWE Music Studio Director ![]() I hope this finds you succeeding in your 2021 New Year Resolutions. If you did not make any resolutions or if you need to start over, NOW is the time! You still have the rest of the year to make it your own. It was this time last year that we started to hear mutterings about a new rapidly spreading and deadly virus. At that time, we did not know that this virus was going to change our world and day to day living. As we approach the one year anniversary of the pandemic restrictions placed upon us, I want to take a moment to thank all of you. I always knew that our Note-worthy Experiences Music Studio was special and different. Supportive and encouraging have been how I have described our students and parents for fourteen years. Team players have been how I always described our instructors. Throughout this year, our students, parents and instructors have locked arms and reunited to support each other and bring more music into the world. The support of our students who have been isolated due to remote academic learning, hybrid learning, limited extracurricular activities, and remote careers has been incredible. The support of our instructors who have not been able to perform has been amazing. Together we are all stronger blasting through the beginning of 2021. In 2021, we have many exciting new year resolutions too! Our resolutions include continuing many of our events with online twists and some new ones also! Please check the newsletters often as we have a major outdoor event planned that is not like anything we have ever done before. We expect all of our students to participate in a day of music and celebrations in a covid safe environment. As always, please feel free to reach out to me at any time with your questions and concerns about our lessons and events. Musically yours, Renee ![]() Choosing repertoire for competitions can be tricky, and requires a different criterion than choosing repertoire for auditions and juries/examinations. It is important to first understand the difference the requirements for competitions versus the requirements for auditions and juries. Where juries and auditions are geared towards evaluating the skills and technique or the student, competitions also look for the virtuosity and performance quality of the musician or student. The below article from the Music Lesson Resources website covers everything you need to know about choosing repertoire for competitions.
