The Musical Muse
Blog dedicated to music education, practice tips, health & wellness, and geeking out.
Last month, I was mulling over different areas that I want to focus on in lessons for the remainder of the school year. I concluded: practice consistency, practice efficienty, technical skills, ear, rhythm and sight reading, and finally - theory and keyboard harmony. Find out how I’m challenging my students to tackle these aspects of music learning.
My student M is back with another review:
The website is called A Beginner’s Guide to Music History, written by Espie Estrella. She is a lyricist, songwriter, and member of the Nashville Songwriters Association International.
My student M is back again with a website review of CMUSE’s History of Website page:

I think it was around 9:00 PM that Saturday night when I concluded that if I was feeling depressed about the music ministry not being able to contribute to Holy Week services, the rest of the choir probably felt the same. Perhaps they would like to sing along with me while I practiced?
That led to a quick search on live streaming options.
