 My "Musicianship Monthly" series will be taking a bit of a hiatus this summer--however, I wanted to share a fun way to help your students keep those musicianship skills fresh, even if they aren't attending regular lessons!

If you are looking for fun activities to use in your summer lessons, or extra music and worksheets that your students can work on independently over summer break, I've got you covered!
Click "read more" to see some of my favorite free resources you can use with your students this summer.  The end of the school year is often a time for goodbyes. Perhaps you have a student who is taking an extended summer break? Or, maybe you have a student who is heading off to college? Sometimes students stop lessons for other reasons: transitioning to middle or high school, moving away, or just simply moving on to other interests.
Unfortunately, there comes a time in every teacher-student relationship when we must say "goodbye." If you are saying goodbye to one or more of your students this summer, read on for tips on how to make your last lesson count!  Today I am sharing a fun classical freebie that your students are sure to recognize! The famous "Blue Danube Waltz" by Johann Strauss, Jr. is probably one of the best known waltzes ever written. This easy arrangement is a great introduction to the waltz bass and helps students to review the primary chords in the key of C major. This happy piece just makes me think of summer!
