It's the Most Wonderful Time...for Music!


What a wonderful time for music…of course, what time is not wonderful when there’s music to share?! This is the time of year that we begin to think about music for the holiday season. We will begin practicing our holiday “songs” in October for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Each student is encouraged to think about the holiday songs he/she would like to play and possibly perform for family, friends, and in the community. Finding the right arrangement and ability level for each student will make learning more enjoyable for everyone. Check out your church hymnal or go online and search “free hymns” to get some ideas. Hoping we will all have our selections by the end of September and can have a great time learning some selections that will bless our hearts and the hearts of others…

 
All students are doing a great job with practicing, and some of you have entered quite a few practice strips in the monthly drawing. It will be exciting to see who wins “Student of the Month” for September! Thank you for coming prepared and doing your best. A favorite hymn of mine is “Give of Your Best to the Master.”

 
Each student is in my prayers! May God give you strength, courage, perseverance, motivation, and discipline to bring glory to Him!

 
 
Bonus Question for the Week:
 
Who wrote the hymn, “Give of Your Best to the Master?”
Bring some information about the author and receive an extra entry in the monthly “Student of the Month” drawing.
