2009-09-09T08:41:00.004-04:00

Miss G with Little House of Music would like to present "Sweet Candy's" new hat!

Miss Marissa on the left and Miss Ava on the right are modeling Sweet Candy's new hat, aren't they precious? Both of these girls are in Little House of Music Level Two Class. The first ten notes you learn to read to play the piano all come with a hat! Our students match the C note with the C letter and then the hat that matches the character. Just wait until they have to match up all ten notes!!!

All of the candy on Sweet Candy's hat is hand made. The hat was designed and made by our Granddaughter Rachel. She is currently studying art design in college and makes the coolest clothing, purses, hats, cell phone holders, I could go on forever! Thank you Rachel, our students love Sweet Candy's hat.

Enjoy Sweet Candy, middle C's hat!

"MISS G'S WALL OF FAME IN HER MUSIC ROOM"

This is Miss G with Little House of Music. I'd like to present to you my "Wall of Fame" in my music room where I teach.

Guess you can tell you my favorites are and yes I'm into peace. I'll buy anything with a peace sign on it!!!

You can't see it but I also have a huge signed Elvis Presley coffee mug on another shelf.

The reason Michael Jackson has the Abbey Road sign in front of him is because he owns or I guess I should say owned the "Beatles" catalog of songs.

I love them all and I'm so glad they will live on forever.

Love You John, Michael and Elvis,

"MISS G FROM LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC REALLY LOVES NEW YORK CITY"

July was the most special month of the my year! Forgot, this is Miss G with Little House of Music!
I went to see "Wicked" in New York City in July. It was the best time I've had in years and I can't wait to go back. I'd love to move to New York City! I feel at home there and believe I should have moved there years ago.
Darrien, Brocknie and Madison went with me to the big city. We had a marvelous time together. We shouldn't have stayed on "Fashion Avenue" but we did and we had a blast shopping!
There is no place in the world like New York City. I loved all the people, the taxi cab rides, I could do without the subway!
If you get a chance, do yourself a favor and go to see "Wicked." It's the "BEST!"
I want to go back so if you can't find me I'll be in New York City!

"MISS G FROM LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC---ALL ABOUT FEBRUARY BIRTHDAYS"

2009-02-01T09:07:00.004-05:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EVERYONE BORN IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY FROM MISS G AT LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC.

If you were born in February your birthstone is Amethyst. The color purple is traditionally the color of royalty and amethyst has been used since the dawn of history to adorn the rich and powerful monarchs and rulers. Leonardo Da Vinci wrote that amethyst was able to dissipate evil thought and quicken the intelligence. And, because amethyst was thought to encourage celibacy and symbolize piety, the amethyst gemstone was very important in the ornamentation in churches in the middle ages. Amethyst was considered to be the stone of bishops and people hoped that by wearing an amethyst ring, they would be able to control their own boiling blood. The amethyst gemstone is said to bring serenity and calm, to enhance one's ability to assimilate new ideas, and to assist during meditation.
The February flower is the Iris. Irises stand for faith, hope and wisdom. February is a month of romance and iris is a fitting symbol. Iris was the Greek goddess of the rainbow, and the Fleur de Lis is a stylized version of the iris.
Your February sign is Aquarius from January 21ST until February 20TH and Pisces from February 21St until the end of the month. Aquarius means: Friendly, humanitarian, lively, honest and loyal, original and inventive, independent and intellectual and you like to be different!
A SPECIAL HAPPY FEBRUARY BIRTHDAY TO MY VERY DEAR FRIEND LYNNE. I LOVE YOU LYNNE!

Miss G with Little House of Music would like to present two of her "STARS" who are brother and sister.
Meet Mr. Thomas, our drummer and a pianist. Thomas can't wait to play the drums every week at lessons. He does well at the piano so he can play the drums! I must add that he stays in excellent time at the drums. YOU GO THOMAS! He just may end up playing both instrument very well. Isn't he precious? I love your hugs Thomas!
Meet Miss Jordan, just look at that face, that beautiful face and those eyes, Jordan is certainly a cutie! Jordan is only four years old and passes her songs on the piano every week. YOU GO JORDAN! I've heard so many say that a four year old can not play the piano and read notes, well to all of you come by and listen to my Jordan playing the piano and watch her reading notes.
I give their Mother all the credit for Thomas and Jordan's success. I only have them for an hour, she has them all week. She has to give them a lot of time each week for them to be doing so well. Remember, behind every successful child is a "Great" parent. YOU GO MOM!

There is a song in Little House of Music called, "Mr. Chris the Music Clown" but I guess I will have to change the name to Mr. Ali because he loves the song so much.

"MISS G WITH LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC----THIS IS WHY I LIVE IN FLORIDA!"

2009-01-23T12:43:00.003-05:00

Miss G with Little House of Music loves to live in Florida and wish I would have been born here.
These pictures were taken of the last full moon from our yard.
So many people think it's too hot to live in Florida. I would agree if you lived in the middle of the state. Even in the summer months where I live near the Atlantic Ocean there is always a breeze so therefore it is never too hot. It is just always beautiful. Everyday is like living in Paradise. In December my grandchildren were in the swimming pool swimming, in January I was working in the yard and got a suntan. You gotta love it!
Enjoy the pictures of the full moon peeking through our palm trees!

2009-01-23T12:29:00.003-05:00

Miss G with Little House of Music with her precious cat Squirt! He is in "Double Trouble!"
The other day after filling my bubble gum machine up with Double Bubble I sat the box on my counter in the kitchen before putting it away. I left the kitchen and when I returned there was Squirt in the Double Bubble box getting into Double Trouble! Isn't he precious? Thank heavens the remaining bubble gum was sealed up tightly in a plastic bag.
When my Mother was sick my daughter and son-in-law and myself went to the Humane Society to pick out a cat for my Mother to love and entertain her. We picked Squirt at first sight and we picked the right cat and my Mother named him. After she passed away Squirt became mine and I have enjoyed him tremendously. He is so cute and gets into everything he can get into! YOU GO SQUIRT, YOUR NEW MOTHER LOVES YOU!
Enjoy the pictures,

"MISS G WITH LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC WITH OUR STUDENTS OF THE WEEK"

2009-01-23T11:25:00.003-05:00

Miss G with Little House of Music is proud to introduce our "Students" of the week for the week of December 19, 2008. We had a tie, Mr. Ali and Mr. Louis. YOU GO BOYS!
Two of my precious boys made the student of the week list. My Ali on the left is an outstanding young boy. I just have to play a song on the piano and he watches me and listens and sits down and plays it. He is a very special child with a very special talent. I have the pleasant opportunity to coach Ali for an hour every week. This past week Ali moved on to a new song, a new lesson in Little House of Music, learned to play the beginning of the song "Batman" (which I'm sure he is playing a million times this week,) and he played the drums in perfect time while I played the piano. Ali and I have a special bond, we are music bubs! I love you Ali.
My other special student of the week, Mr. Louis on the right, has been my student so long I feel like he is my own son! Years ago at one of our concerts Louis was Mr. Quarter note and sang the song while he tap danced. That fabulous performance will always shine in my mind. My Louis, My Mr. Quarter Note! Louis is now a pianist playing songs that are difficult for most. Louis is no longer my little Louis but now he's my big Louis. Where have the years gone? Louis who was born in Canada became a United States citizen last year, we had a very special lesson for that week, the US flags were flying all over the place. YOU GO LOUIS AND I LOVE YOU.
Remember behind every successful child are caring and loving parents and both Ali and Louis are blessed with parents that are both.
I'm very proud of both Ali and Louis. It's not easy to be "Student of the Week" here at Little House of Music. Congratulations to you both.
I send a million hugs to both of my boys,
Miss G Little House of Music

Miss G from Little House of Music with facts about your January Birthday!

Your January Gem Stone is the Garnet. Garnet's powers include healing, strength, and protection and it is often worn to relieve inflammations of the skin. It is also believed to regulate the heart and blood flow and aid in curing depression. In earlier times, garnets were exchanged as gifts between friends to demonstrate their affection for each other and to insure that they meet again.

Your January birth flower is the Carnation. The general meaning of the January Birth Flower, the Carnation is love, fascination, and distinction. The Hidden message of January Birth Flower, the Carnation so favored during the Victorian era varied according to color:
Red-My Heart Aches For You
Pink-I'll Never Forget You
Yellow-You Have Disappointed Me
The Carnation has been cultivated for the last 2,000 years and the name "carnation" is derived from the words "coronation" or the Greek word "corone" (meaning flower garlands).

Your January Zodiac signs are: Capricorn, which is from December 22ND, until January the 19TH or Aquarius which is from January 20TH until February the 18TH.

Miss G with Little House of Music wishes you all "CHEERS!" this New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.
Some interesting things that go on January 1ST of each New Year.

In England and Scotland an extra round of football fixtures is played (unless New Year's Day falls on a Friday or Sunday.)

In Pasadena, California, United States, the Tournament of Roses is held, with revelers viewing the parade from the streets and watching on television, followed by the Rose Bowl football game.

Vienna New Year Concert, in Austria.

Polar Bear Clubs: in many northern hemisphere cities near bodies of water, they will have a tradition of people plunging into the cold water on New Year's Day. The Coney Island Polar Bears Club in New York is the oldest cold-water swimming club in the United States. They have had groups of people enter the chilly surf since 1903.

In Philadelphia, the Mummers Parade is held on Broad Street.

Hindu New Year, which falls at the time and date Sun enters Mesha. Hindus celebrate the new year by paying respects to their parents and elders and seek their blessings. They also exchange tokens of Good Wishes (Kai Vishesham).

The New Year's Day Parade is held in London. Performers include acts from each of the city's 32 boroughs, as well as entertainment from around the world.

I think I'll stay out of the cool water and feel blessed to see another year!

"MISS G WITH LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC" AND OUR STUDENT OF THE WEEK: "MR. KAI"

2008-12-18T08:06:00.004-05:00

Miss G with Little House of Music presents our Student of the Week, Mr. Kai for the week of November 28, 2008.

Kai is a delight to teach. I've never seen him frown, he smiles all the time and we laugh a lot at lessons. Mr. Kai who is seven hasn't even taken lessons for three months and is passing songs left and right. I believe that is because his favorite subject in school is "Math!"

Kai already knows he is going to be an engineer when he grows up! I sure hope he'll be a "Music Engineer!"

Kai likes basketball and will soon be playing baseball. His favorite food is a ham sandwich from Subway! YOU GO KAI!

He also like the Jonas Bros, the color turquoise and has a puppy named Scruffy!

It is so wonderful to see happy children and Kai is one of them.

Keep up the good work Kai and anything in life you desire will come true.

I send hugs and lots of love to you Kai. Miss G is very PROUD of you!

"MISS G WITH LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC---WONDERFUL ARTICLE"

2008-12-15T04:58:00.003-05:00

Miss G with Little House of Music read this wonderful article in the Sunday paper.

"GIFT OF TIME AT TOP OF GRANDPA'S WISH LIST!"
Here's a note for kids and grandkids as Christmas approaches:
It's that time again to try to find a present for grandpa, and I know you want a wish list, so here goes.
First, please nothing that has to be dusted or cared for. My clothes may be going out of style, but I'm not wearing them out and probably don't really need any more.
If I can eat it or play with it, that's always good.
What I really want is sometimes the hardest to give. There is on thing that really does run out --- time! So let me put this at the top of my Christmas list.
When you think about my supply starting to run out, that you just give me more of yours!
Ron Howard

This is true for Grandmother's also. I'd love to have more time to enjoy my live with my family.

"MISS G WITH LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC WITH MISS SYDNEY!"

2008-12-01T06:13:00.003-05:00

Miss G with Little House of Music presents Miss Sydney! What a sweetheart she is. Sydney is last weeks "Student of the Week!" YOU GO SYDNEY!
Sydney could read music before she could read words! I do experiments with Sydney. I put music on the music rack that is much more difficult then what she is used to playing and this child just plays it like she has known the song her whole life!
Sydney has a special talent that we are going to pursue. After the first of the year I'm going to take her to a Dr.of Music at one of our local Universities and show her off to the music professor. Sydney's ability exceeds the gift of music. In all my years of teaching I have never seen a young child with the knowledge to read music like she does. Her brain must has a very special extra part and I'm going to find out what it is!
Sydney is a joy to teach and she just loves her music. How lucky I am to have the opportunity to be her music coach.
Keep playing the music Sydney, there is no limit to what you can achieve with your music.
I Love You and send a million hugs,
Miss G Little House of Music

December used to be the tenth month of the Roman year, and it gets it's name from the word 'decem', which means ten.
The Anglo-Saxons called it "Winter Monath", or "Yule Monath" because of the custom of burning the yule log around this time. after many Anglo-Saxons became Christians they called it "Heligh Monath" or holy month, because Christmas, the birth of Jesus, is celebrated in December.
In the northern hemisphere December marks the beginning of winter, and it is the time of rain, wind and snow.

"MISS G WITH LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC---HAPPY 95TH BIRTHDAY CLAIRE"

2008-11-20T07:32:00.003-05:00

Miss G with Little House of Music had a very exciting day on Tuesday, November 18, 2008. I took my friend Claire out of the nursing home to celebrate her "95TH" birthday. YOU GO CLAIRE! Claire has always told me she is going to live to be 100, I sure hope she is right.
First I took Claire to the salon to get her hair done, we did a little shopping and then went to her favorite restaurant for her birthday lunch. We had a good time. Claire was so excited to get a day out of the nursing home and I was excited to do it for her. Just think to live to be 95 and have no one in the whole world that you know, it is really sad for all of the elderly in all our nursing homes around the world. Most of them never get to leave.
Claire told me how lucky she was to have me and I told Claire how lucky I was to have her! She had a big time and a great 95TH birthday and I felt very good inside for taking her to celebrate. It was a win, win happy day for us both.
If you know anyone who lives in a nursing home it is a wonderful thing to go visit or better yet while they are able, take them out for the day.
Again, Happy Birthday Claire and we will go out and celebrate again soon for sure on your 96TH!

Miss G with Little House of Music is proud to introduce Miss Lisa coaching my Mr. Louie.
Miss G's life has been a little unusual lately and Miss Lisa has been kind enough to take over my students until December 15TH. I don't know why she doesn't teach music all the time. Miss Lisa plays the piano beautifully and she has that kid personality that is so wonderful when you are coaching children. My students like her so much I'm afraid they will all want to follow her instead of waiting for me to return! I thank you so much Miss Lisa, you are a true friend.
My Mr. Louie in the picture is like my own son. I've taught him for 150 years now!!! He is a great pianist and so much fun to teach. He and I are great "Buddies!"
In the past two months I have had lemons and lemonade! I took care of my Aunt until she passed away with cancer, my husband has a medical problem and must go back into the hospital and I had hand surgery and am still working on cleaning out my Aunt's home in PA from FL. Now for the lemonade, my niece had her first baby boy Landen and my son and his wife had a beautiful baby girl Mahri Cate. All this in two months.
Thank you Miss Lisa, you can tell by her beautiful smile how much she loves teaching (coaching) children to play beautiful music. YOU GO LISA!
I love both of you,

Miss G from Little House of Music with a "Tribute" to my Auntie Faye. My Auntie passed away October 30, 2008 and every time I see a doll baby, see anything purple, see a baseball game or a beautiful flower I will think of my Aunt.
This one flower bed around her mailbox is just a very small sample of what you would see if you had the opportunity to see Aunt Faye's beautiful yard. She had the most glorious yard filled with garden after garden of yes, purple flowers.
My Aunt Faye was like a Mother to me and she is now at peace after the terrible disease cancer consumed her body.
She will be missed by some many who loved her.

"MISS G WITH LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC WITH OUR NEW STUDENT OF THE WEEK MISS BREEZY"

2008-11-12T07:24:00.003-05:00

Miss G and Little House of Music is honored to present our newest "Student of the Week" Miss Breezy.
Breezy is a dancer and a beautiful one at that! Her posture is unbelievable when she sits on the piano bench. Not only has Breezy won our Student of the Week award she has won numerous dancing competitions. Breezy is an outstanding young lady and I'm so proud of her. YOU GO BREEZY!
Breezys two older brothers have also been studying music with me for years. Breezy wasn't going to play the piano she was just going to be a dancer. One day she decided to start taking piano lessons and if her two brothers don't watch out she is going to pass both of them! I keep saying to Breezy, you played that song very well for someone who wasn't going to play the piano!
Breezy is a precious child which also excels in school. Anything Breezy decides to do she excels at.
I'm so happy I get to be apart of Breezys life. She is a pleasure to be with every week.
A million Loves and Hugs to you Breezy,
Miss G

"MISS G WITH LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC AND OUR NEWEST STUDENT OF THE WEEK, MR. JACK!

2008-11-02T08:28:00.003-05:00

Miss G from Little House of Music with our newest "Student of the Week" Mr. Jack! For the week of October 31ST.
YOU GO JACK!
I have been teaching Jack for years and years! Jack first took Little House of Music and then moved right onto the piano bench and started to play the piano.
Jack has inherited the gift of music from someone in his family because he is an excellent pianist at his old age! He feels the beat, he feels the chord change and he loves to play the piano. Music is in his being and it shows when he plays.
Other than music our Jack is an excellent student at school and loves to play soccer and will be on the football field next year. Sports and music just seem to go together!
I am very proud of you Jack. Keep up the great work and play your scales 5,000 times a week!
Isn't he just precious?
Love and Hugs to you Jack.

Connor has the sweetest personality and is a delight to teach and be with every week.

"MISS G WITH LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC WISHES YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY NOVEMBER!"

2008-11-01T06:49:00.004-04:00

Happy Turkey Month from Miss G at Little House of Music! The pumpkins are over and now we are into Turkeys already, where does the time go?
I have some exciting information on the month of November.
DID YOU KNOW?
Novembers flower is the Chrysanthemum, "Flower of Honour." This flower means with love and cheerfulness. There are over 30 different species and colors of the perennial flowering plants and are also called Mums. Chrysanthemums come from the Asteraceae family and are native to Asia and Northeastern Europe. In parts of Asia the yellow and white Chrysanthemum flowers are boiled to make a sweet drink.
DID YOU KNOW?
Novembers birthstone is the "Topaz." The topaz is the most durable mineral, an 8 on the Mohs scale. The colors of the topaz range from, blue, green, pink, red, yellow and brown or can be completely clear. It's rare to find a natural pink topaz. The orange-red topaz is called "Imperial" but it is extremely rare. Not certain whether the topaz name came from Sansrit word for fire, "Topas" or the Greek term for "greengem" which is "Topazos" which is also a island in the red sea.
DID YOU KNOW?
If you were born from October 24TH until November 21ST you are a Scorpio and are Focused, Determined, Emotional, Hypnotic and Complex!
Happy Birthday to everyone born in the month of November.
Have a wonderful November and be Thankful we still have way over a month until Christmas!

Pictured is the proud Mom, Miss Jo Jo in front of the girls very first real live piano.
I'm so happy for them all. There is no better sound than to be walking in your home and hearing one of your children playing the piano.
Their new piano will bring hours and hours of joy to their home.

"MISS G WITH LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC---THE GREAT PUMPKIN!"

2008-10-29T07:13:00.003-04:00

Happy Halloween from Miss G at Little House of Music.

"THE GREAT PUMPKIN"
Pumpkin's are a fruit. A pumpkin is a type of squash and is a member of the gourd family.
The largest pumpkin pie ever baked was in 2003 and weighed 418 pounds.
Pumpkins have been grown in North America for five thousand years. They are indigenous to the western hemisphere.
In 1584, after French explorer Jacques Cartier explored the St. Lawrence region of North America he reported finding "gros melons." The name was translated into English as "Pompions," which has since evolved into modern day "Pumpkin!"

Have a "Safe" and "Happy Halloween" or the "Great Pumpkin Day!"

MISS G WITH LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC---PLEASE READ!"

2008-10-26T08:27:00.005-04:00

Please read Miss G's from Little House of Music's "NO REGULATIONS ON PRIVATE MUSIC TEACHERS! PLEASE!

NO REGULATIONS FOR PRIVATE MUSIC TEACHER’S:

I find it appalling that anyone who wishes to teach private music lessons to children is allowed to do so without first being fingerprinted, a background check done on them and have a state license that requires a test to see if they are even qualified to teach a musical instrument to our children.
There are millions of private music teachers in the USA without any restraints. Everyday there are millions of children in the USA being taught privately by a teacher who has had no checks done on them.I have done a survey asking parents if their child's private music teacher has a state license to teach music and if they know the teacher has been fingerprinted and a background check done on them. All the parents just assume that teacher's have all of the above checks done before they can teach children music in their homes or in a little room in a music store without a window to view their child's lesson. They tell me that every state requires all these checks to be done before anyone can teach and work with children. When I tell them this isn't the fact I wish you could see their faces and hear what they have to say!I find it unbelievable that this issue has been overlooked in the USA. I have written letters to my state officials hoping that in the 2008 Legislative Session this problem will be solved in my state but what about the other states?
The list is very long of adults working with children that must be fingerprinted and have a background check done on them, Girl Scout leaders, parents helping their child’s teacher in schools, after school sport coaches just to name a few. Why not private music teachers?
I personally know of cases where the music teacher has assaulted children. I hope that we don’t allow this to happen to another child!As adults, it is our responsibility to take care of our children instead of assuming that all the above checks are done on private music teachers.
We must take better care of our children and help parents stop wasting their money on a music teacher who is not qualified to teach.
As a private music teacher myself I have first hand knowledge of way too many cases of children being taught by a private music teacher who is not qualified to teach. I certainly hope there are no pedophiles that play music and decide to start teaching our children private music lessons!
I would appreciate any help you could give me concerning this issue.
