While flubbing when trying to play his scales, one of my student graduates of Little House of Music looked at me and said, "Miss G, my finger's got tongue tied!"
I send my love and three hugs to every child in the world, 123, squeeze, squeeze, squeeze, Miss G

Five Year Old Kicked Out of Piano Lessons
April 24, 2008
Funny, funny, funny! When Little House of Music was nominated for a Grammy for Best Children’s Album I was sitting in the audience waiting for my category to be announced, I was laughing out loud as I thought about what I would say if I won! First, of course, I would say thanks to all and then I would say briefly, “Just think my first piano teacher would not teach me anymore at the ripe old age of five because I did not play the songs exactly the way they were written!”
GO FIGURE! By the way, I’m Miss G with Little House of Music. Anyway, back to my first piano teacher, my parents were devastated to say the least; their five year old daughter got kicked out of piano lessons when she sounded so good at home on the piano and played every song from Sunday school and Church by ear when she got home every Sunday!
Looking back my first piano teacher did me a huge favor because my next piano teacher had an ear for music and understood why I was jazzing up all those boring songs I had to play in those dreaded student music books! I was blessed like my second piano teacher; we both had the gift of music in our hearts and soul! Music teachers without an ear for music are also great music teachers, don’t misunderstand, they just don’t know how to relate to a child that has “The Gift!”
Anyway, Elmo beat me out for the Grammy but I still was a winner just by being nominated. Talk about funny, I was beat by a character not even a real live person, You Go Elmo!

The Little House Of Music
Georgia Lucking Germond was among the nominees of the 44th GRAMMY Awards for her children’s music education program Little House of Music. Nominees were announced on Jan. 4th at the Beverly Hills Hilton and the awards will take place on Feb. 27th in Los Angeles.
Little House of Music is a music education program for children that considers a child’s short attention span by translating the concepts of learning music into a thrilling, fun and exciting experience. Miss G, who defines music as “the art of combining sounds to express love and sounds of varying pitch to produce smiles…,” has put over fifteen years of time and effort into producing this innovative program.
"Once again, this year's nominations reflect many different musical points of view from those established artists whose influence has shaped the evolution of our musical language, to newcomers who speak with a unique resonance," said Recording Academy President/CEO Michael Greene. "We are gratified to see so many truly talented singer/songwriters; they remain a vital part of music's foundation."
