"MEET MR. MAX"

Mr. Max guards Little House of Music at night. His eyes light up at night and he can see everything that goes on! Max has "Gone Green!" His eyes are solar powered by the sun. Isn't he cute! He is a tree face. One more exciting item at the bridge that my students love.

"MR. LOUIS OUR MOST CREATIVE STUDENT"

Week after week Louis comes to his lessons with a new Broadway Hit Song!" Louis has the gift of music. Since he has learned theory his writing has become so much easier for him because he now knows what he is playing, what key he is in, how many sharps and flats. He has a brilliant mind and uses it when he writes songs.
Louis is writing the "Overture" to our Broadway Musical, "Lyric and Lore." He is also writing the script and other music with, Hallie, Madison and myself. He just has to wait to write the "Overture" because you can't write and "Overture" until all the songs are finished!
Louis is very active with his school when it comes to anything that involves music. Louis was also very kind and gave of his time every Saturday morning for an hour along with Miss Hallie and taught Little House of Music to the children at My Refuge, abused and neglected children. He is a fine young man with high values and even higher expectations for his musical career. He will do it, he will make it, music is everywhere inside of him. I keep telling him that he'll have his first Broadway show at the age of 24 and I'll be there to see it! New York City, here comes Louis!

"OUR "STAR" MISS SYDNEY"

Just look at this face, this marvelous face, isn't Miss Sydney a cutie-pie? Here are two pictures of her rehearsing for our "Songs of May" party. She is a natural in front of the camera! Sydney first took Little House of Music and now she is playing the piano at age five. I'm overwhelmed with her success. Every week she knows all of her songs and she is so proud of herself and can't wait to play the piano for me. Sydney is preforming the song "Calico Waltz" for our party. She is ready to go, she even has the her song memorized. Miss Hallie and I together taught Sydney Little House of Music in a group class and Miss Sydney keeps kidding me and says she wants to take lessons from Miss Hallie! If I knew she wasn't kidding me I'd have her change teachers! She is a delightful little girl and so much fun to teach, I really would miss her.

"MORE "STARS" GETTING READY FOR OUR SONGS OF MAY PARTY"

Our "STARS" here at Little House of Music couldn't be more ready to perform. I'm so proud of these three girls. I have been teaching Miss Megan on the left for at least four years now, Miss Megan not only excels at the piano she also excels in dancing with her buddy, Miss Breezy shown in the middle picture. Miss Breezy's two brothers have been taking piano lessons from me for 8 years. Breezy first took Little House of Music but decided she would rather be a dancer. Well, much to my surprise Breezy decided to get back into piano lessons and if her two brothers don't hurry, she will pass them by!
Pictured on the right is Miss Katie. Miss Katie has walked in the door for her lessons for five years with the biggest and brightest smile you've ever seen and then runs towards me and I get the biggest hug every week! Miss Katie is a very happy child and is a delight to teach. In all of the years I have taught Katie she has never been upset about anything, she is always pleasant and Katie is how every child in the world should be, HAPPY!
I wish you all could join us for our "Songs of May" party. We have GREAT kids, Good Kids and Precious Kids here at Little House of Music.

"WE RECYCLE MUSIC BOOKS!"

At Little House of Music we recycle music books. When one of our students has passed every song in their book and if they don't want to keep the book they give it to me and then I pass it on to another student. WE ARE HOPING TO SAVE MORE THAN JUST ONE TREE!!!
With the cost of music books it is a great idea that has worked great for us here at Little House of Music.
Wait until you hear this: When I started to teach piano lessons the series of books I liked to use were then $.75, now they are $6.95. Guess you now know how long I've been teaching piano lessons!

"LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC'S FIRST CONCERT"

Pictured is our flier from our very first "Little House of Music" concert. Not one bit of it was work, the children and I had so much fun getting ready for the concert. Mom's pitched in and helped with the wardrobe changes, Dad's sat for hours while we rehearsed. It was really a big deal for us here at "Little House of Music." We were so proud to have the songs and the "Stars" to perform. We even had to have one person to open and close the curtains! What a wonderful experience for all involved. It certainly was a great learning process for the children. Our main purpose for having the concert was to raise money for abused children, so the children were very eager to do everything they could to help the cause.
We did have a good turn out even though that was the year of the four hurricanes here in Florida and we did raise money for the abused children.
All in all, it turned out much better than I had ever dreamed. We had to miss about eight rehearsals because of the hurricanes, but our "STARS" were troopers and pulled it off beautifully. I wish you all could have been there to enjoy!

"DANCING FOUR O'CLOCKS TWO"

These two photos inspire me to write songs. I already have five new songs written for my next CD, "Dancing Four O'Clocks Two." This next Cd's cover are these pictures of my yellow four o'clocks that I grew in my yard. The first CD had purple four o'clocks. I was watching my yellow four o'clocks just yesterday and they were dancing with the wonderful breeze from our beautiful ocean. They were dancing fast, slow, sometimes spinning. When the breeze is making my four o'clocks dance fast I feel like that part of the music I'm writing should be louder, and when the breeze is going slowly than the music should be softer. In music loud means Forte, and soft means Piano. I can see my flowers dancing when I'm at my piano playing so writing songs come so easily for me. I just write songs along with the breeze! Maybe I should change the name of the next CD to, "Dancing Four O"Clocks Dance Back Yellow!"
You can purchase my first "Dancing Four O'Clocks" CD from my website: http://www.littlehouseofmusic.com, or by calling, 888-GFEDCBA, isn't that cute? The musical alphabet backward. That's me, Miss G, music should have been my middle name!

"MISS G'S QUOTE WRITTEN ON THE STUDENT AWARDS"

"Music is the art of combining sounds to express love and sounds of varying pitch to produce smiles."
Miss G Little House of Music

"LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC AWARDS"

The first thing our students do when they enter the door for their lesson is to look at the Student of the Week Awards hanging on our bulletin board. Every week at Little House of Music we give out the "Student of the Week Award" to the student who received top honors for the past weeks piano performance, theory skills and scales. This contest runs from September 1st, until May 31st every year. The student who wins the Student of the Week award the most times during the year then wins the "Student of the Year Award" that we give out at "Our Songs of May Party."
Along with the Student of the Week Award the student who wins also gets five prizes out of our prize basket and a new Presidential gold coin dollar.
The Student of the Year gets a check for $50.00 to go on a shopping spree with me, Miss G to the store of their choice. To get "whatever" they want.
Giving out these awards has certainly given our students motivation to play the piano more and to get those theory books completed and studied for their theory test, and to play their scales 5,000 times a week!
Here at Little House of Music we do whatever it takes for our students to learn music and love music.
It's unbelievable how many "STARS" we have here at Little House of Music.

"TWO OCTAVES OF KIDS" 16 LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC STARS!

I gave all my students better known as "The Recording Studio Kids" the same four notes in the right hand, and the same four notes in the left hand and I said to them, "Write a Song." Needless to say they all looked at me like I had lost my mind. Of course none of them could write a song. Well guess what? I ended up with 27 compositions written by my students and 16 (two octaves) are on our CD "Two Octaves of Kids!" The notes I gave them were in a minor key with three flats. Most of my students who wrote songs couldn't read the music they wrote! Of course I didn't tell them that! Most all of their songs turned out to be classical songs. The songs are wonderful and we'll soon have the composition book finished.
I sent the CD to the Grammys and we waited and waited to see if it made the ballot. It did and were the children ever excited. Can you imagine being seven years old and have a song on the ballot for a Grammy? You are a winner just my getting your CD on the ballot, the CD is heard by professionals and must qualify to be on the ballot. Everyone was so excited!
Not only did our Miss Hallie do all the artwork for our CD front and back covers and insert, plus CD cover she made it on the ballot all alone with her song "Fourth Tide" for best contemporary classical composition!
Keep in mind not one of my students could write a song! I'm so proud of them. Now I have some students who have written ten songs. Now they know they can write a song! Very Cool! Guess it's time to do "Two Octaves of Kids Two!" For more information on this CD and how to purchase it call Miss G at Little House of Music: 888-GFEDCBA or 888-433-3222.

"WHO WILL BE "THE STUDENT OF THE YEAR" AT LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC?"

Here is a picture of the 2007 "Students of the Year Award." Last year we had a three way tie. The award is a shopping spree with Miss G, that's me! They can go anywhere they want to shop and pick out their favorite prize for doing a great job all year.They really got me last year, three prizes!!!
On the left is Daniela, middle is Hallie and right is Jack. Daniela and Jack were only seven last year and they still won! My hats off to all the kids. How ever they play the piano, what ever they play on the piano is better than not playing the piano at all! The Student of the Year award is also for excelling in music theory not just piano performance. I wonder, just who will receive the award at "Our Songs of May Party" this year!
The student who wins the student of the week award the most during the year wins student of the year.
Good luck to you all.

"FLOWERS FOR MISS HALLIE"

I took these flowers to Miss Hallie on Sunday when she played out. They are all from my flower gardens. Some of them will root and she will be able to plant them in her new garden she is making.
Hallie and I have so much in common, now even flowers and gardening! We've already found every piece of beach glass and every shell at our beach so she needed a new hobby and flowers it is!
Don't forget to water them Miss Hallie!
Hugs,

"MISS HALLIE WITH HER STUDENT RACHEL"

Miss Rachel, age seven, sitting to the left of Miss Hallie is one of her many students. Rachel and her family came to hear Miss Hallie play out at her Sunday Brunch gig! What an wonderful example Miss Hallie is setting for her young students. Like I've said a million times, how can you ever expect or teach a student to play the piano for others if the teacher can't!
Miss Hallie's teaching is growing in heaps and bounds. She soon won't have any openings! You Go Hallie and You Go Rachel! It won't be long until Rachel is playing out somewhere, a few more levels at the piano and a little more age and away she'll go!
Love you both,

"YOU DON'T NEED SUNFLOWER SEEDS TO GROW SUNFLOWERS!"

Hi, this is Miss G from Little House of Music. This sunflower was grown from bird seed, yes bird seed! Under the bird feeder I see little sunflowers coming up so I dig them up and move them to another place and "Voila" the little sunflower plant turns into a beautiful sunflower.
I gave a little sunflower plant to my daughter Sue Ann and she grew this one. Isn't it beautiful? She out did me, her's is much bigger and more beautiful than any I've ever grown! She must have inherited my "GREEN" thumb!
After the plant starts to look bad, we then take all the sunflower seeds from the plant and feed them to the birds. "RECYCLE!" Then we start all over again.
You don't need sunflower seeds to grow beautiful sunflowers, just feed the birds and it happens!

"LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC'S OWN MR. CHRIS THE MUSIC CLOWN"

Isn't he cute? Mr. Chris the Music Clown is a very important part of the "Little House of Music" educational music course. He adds that special touch to learn music the fun way!
There are games for children to play with Mr. Chris the Music Clown on our website and the children get to enjoy him in their "Fun" music book!
There is even a song about him, "Mr. Chris the Music Clown." His song is sung in a musical "Round." Introducing and teaching children what a musical "Round" is in music is aiding our students in ear training. We have our students listen closely to the two different sets of voices singing the same song, just starting at different times. "Ear Training" is a big part of Little House of Music. We just love it when a child's ears perk up!

"TEQUILA AND SALT"

This should probably be taped to your bathroom mirror where you could read it every day. You may not realize it, but is' 100% true!

There are at least two people in this world that you would die for.

At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

Every night, SOMEONE, thinks about you before they go to sleep.

You mean the world to someone.

You are special and unique.

Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

When you think the world has turned its back on you take another look.

Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

Good friends are like stars...You don't always see them, But you know they are always there.

I would rather have one rose and a kind word from a friend while I'm here than a whole truck load when I'm gone.

Always remember...when life hands you Lemons, ask for Tequila and Salt and call me over!

"MISS G's BLOOMING AIRPLANT"

Other than music, the beach and birds my hobby is flowers, trees and shrubs of all kinds. I like to buy them when they need tender loving care. My most beautiful flowering plants were marked down in price and looked like they were dead when I purchased them. I get great satisfaction from taking a sick plant and nursing it back to beauty.
The picture is of a cluster of my air plants blooming, it's real name is Tillandsia a member of bromelaid family. I now have about 25 air plants, all different kinds, shapes and sizes and they all bloom from time to time.
An air plant needs no soil, moisture and nutrients are gathered from the air,(dust, decaying leaves and insect matter.)
Air plants are also known as Ball moss and Spanish moss.
I do soak mine in water every other week and mist them weekly. They really seem to like it here in Florida, guess they are just like me!
Enjoy!

"MY STAR BROTHERS, JUSTIN AND JACK"

I have been teaching these two brothers all of their lives! Aren't they precious? They are a real part of my family and the Little House of Music family. Both Justin and Jack have the "Gift" of music. I believe from what I hear that they have received it from their father side of the family.
These handsome boys both play baseball, soccer, basketball and the piano! See, it doesn't matter what else you do, you can do music too! Justin is on the left and our Jack is in the center.
Justin is playing "Hedwig's Theme" from a Harry Potter movie. He's got it and ready to play at the party. Jack is playing "Lean On Me." His little fingers fly over the piano keyboard. As usual they both will be "STARS" at the party.
I enjoy seeing them come through the door every week for their lessons. They are a pleasure to teach and I love them both very much. I bet over the years I have gotten at least one million hugs from these two pianist! YOU GO BOY!

"GO RED SOX'S"

Here at "Little House of Music" we are Red Sox's Fan's. We watch every game and root, root, root. My husband Paul is from Rhode Island and his father saw the Red Sox's win the World Series in the year "1918." Paul had to wait until 2004 to see his Red Sox's win the world series. What a night that was at our home! We have Red Sox's everything, flag's flying, teddy bears, just to name a few!
In 2004 the Boston newspaper had a full page, all red with blue letters that read, "Next Year Finally Came!" I got the newspaper and had it framed for Paul and it's hanging proudly in our den! Please excuse the flash in the picture, I'm a musican not a photographer!
