<p>Yungling Piano Studio&#8217;s May Piano Recital was once again held at Clover&#8217;s Fine Art Gallery and Cafe.  We had a delightful time playing songs for our family and friends.  From 4 to 34, students of all ages displayed their skills and provided an amazing afternoon of fun and music.  Clover created an inviting environment with a new set up of chairs that gave us the perfect, intimate recital space.  Thank you to all the amazing piano students for their hard work and thank you to Clover for making our event so special.  A special thank you goes to all our moms and dads who help keep music alive by encouraging their youngsters to study music.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I use my iMac and Garageband to record my students&#8217; songs.  Then I have them listen to the playback and tell me what they heard, what was great?, what could be improved? They LOVE it!  And they improve their listening skills and take greater responsibility for applying the fundamentals of dynamics, counting and phrasing&#8230;.without me having to always point it out first!  Now the lessons are more collaborative.</p>
<h3 style="padding-left: 60px;"><em><span style="color: #ff0000;">My equipment:  20 inch iMac, $170.00 microphone, $30.00 mic stand, $35.00 usb external speakers for better playback</span></em></h3>
<p>THE SURPRISE!  I also record my students&#8217; improvisations.  This is one of the favorite activities.  I then convert the files to MP3 and e-mail to the students/parents.</p>
<p>To my delight I found out that the parent who can&#8217;t come to lessons now feels included since they can listen to the progress on their own time AND many parents are e-mailing the files to out of town relatives who don&#8217;t often get a chance to hear the life performances!  It&#8217;s bringing grandma and grandpa closer than ever.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also a great way for the piano student&#8217;s sibling(s) to get excited about what goes on at piano lessons&#8230;..and perhaps come check it out!</p>
<h3><span style="color: #ff0000;">FUN, FUN, FUN!</span></h3>
