"MISS G AND MADISON SAW EACH OTHER LAST NIGHT FROM HAWAII TO FLORIDA!"

This is Miss G with Little House of Music and I thought I was going to Disney last night because I was so excited!
I thought that when my Madison moved to Hawaii I wouldn't get to see her for a long time. Well last night we saw each other via computer and talked and talked. The picture is the last day we were together before she moved to Hawaii.
We both signed up for Skype which is a free download and we both have camera's on our computers so we can see each other and talk for free all the time. Madison is six hours before our time zone but we will have plenty of time to talk. I just have to learn how to subtract 6 from our time!
Next Wednesday I'm going to continue giving Madison piano lessons via computer. Now just tell me how cool this is!
My friend Lore in Belgium which is six hour later than us does not have Skype available so I had to teach her piano by phone!
I'm so much happier this morning because I now know I can see my Madison anytime except of course when she and I are sleeping!
Check into Skype, you can see and talk all you want to your family and friends for free. I just love this modern age!

"MISS G'S RAIN LILY & SWEET POTATO PLANT

Enjoy my blooming flowers in my yard. This is Miss G with Little House of Music and I was doing some gardening yesterday but ended up taking more pictures than doing any gardening!
The picture on the left is of a rain lily. They say they bloom when we are going to have rain. Our rain lilys here in Florida are pink but some states have white and I've also seen yellow, I'm sure there are more colors of rain lilys elssewhere.

The picture on the right is my sweet potato plant. Dark purple leaves and the flowers are just beautiful? I have another sweet potato plant but it doesn't bloom but it's green, pink and purple color, it's beautiful. The sweet potato plants can also be a ground cover. You can actually plant a sweet potato that you get from the grocery store and it will take off. It's not as pretty as the deep purple one or the variegated one but the leaves are the same and they are usually green but they are an excellent ground cover.
I took lots of pictures yesterday so stay tuned for more beautiful flowers.

"HISTORY FOR JULY 7TH, THE HOOVER DAM"

Hello, this is Miss G with Little House of Music and I have very interesting history that happened on this day.

On July 7, 1930 the building of the Hoover Dam began. Over the next five years a total of 21,000 men worked ceaselessly to produce what would be the largest dam of its time as well as one of the largest man made structures in the world. The dam is in Black Canyon, on the Colorado River and borders Arizona and Nevada. The Hoover Dam was named for our 31St President Herbert Hoover.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
You didn't know you were so smart!
Stayed tuned for more exciting history events and music events.

"MISS G'S MONDAY MORNING MUSICAL QUOTE"

Happy Monday morning from Miss G at Little House of Music. I love this musical quote.

MUSICAL COMPOSITIONS, IT SHOULD BE REMEMBERED, DO NOT INHABIT CERTAIN COUNTRIES, CERTAIN MUSEUMS, LIKE PAINTINGS AND STATUES. THE MOZART QUINTET IS NOT SHUT UP IN SALZBURG: I HAVE IT IN MY POCKET!
Henri Rabaud

Enjoy!

"MISS G TEACHING LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC"

Miss G from Little House of Music is so very proud of my Little House of Music students. Aren't they precious?
My students are doing a "GREAT" job and have already completed lesson three. This is a new summer class. Unfortunately some of our students were on vacation and missed out on the pictures, we'll get them at a later time.
The picture on the left was taken right after we "Marched Into Music." Every Little House of Music student gets a certificate to hang somewhere in their home that they are a member of the "Little House of Music Marching Band." Keeping in time is so important and this is how we get our little students to learn to stay in time with the music. Picture: front row left is Ryan, Natalie in the middle and Sarah on the right. Back row is Braden on the left and Claire on the right.
The picture on the right is of our group hug. Left is Braden, then "squashed" Natalie, Sara, Ryan and Claire. You can tell by the picture how much fun we have learning music.
Braden has a different "Marching into Music" hat on because he was the Drum Major and MC this week for showtime. Every week we pick a different leader when we march and then that student is also the MC for "SHOWTIME" when they sing into the microphone at the end of each class. We have no Myrtle the Turtles in our class. Every student gets up and grabs the microphone and sings a song for us at showtime. This is so important for the students formal education. You know speaking into a microphone is a very difficult thing for adults to do, but not our "Stars!" They are learing to do this now so they will never be shy like "Myrtle the Turtle" and hide in their shell!
By the way I sang one of my hit songs at showtime, "Chocolate Pizza!"
Stay Tuned for more on this great Little House of Music class.

"MISS G'S OWN WORDS: WHAT IS LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC?"

WHAT IS LITTLE HOUSE OF MUSIC?
BY: Miss G July 5, 2008
Where Children say, “I LEARNED MUSIC THE “FUN” WAY”

Little House of Music is a home, a fantasy where children learn music and the only supplies they need are their hugs, teeth for smiling and their bellybutton. The hugs and teeth are easy to understand but the bellybutton means if you line it up with middle “C” you can play any song our world has ever been blessed with. Little House of Music is all about love for music. Little House of Music sets the environment where every musical symbol becomes a part of the happy family.

Where else can a child have Mr. Quarter note as their best friend, touch Miss Treble Clef as they would touch their own mother. Where else can a child have sisters and brothers as notes?

Little House of Music not only teaches children music, Little House of Music teaches children to love music.

Out of our 5 senses children use 3 of them in Little House of Music. Seeing, hearing and touch. Touch should be called feel because music is filled with feelings.

Little House of Music builds self-esteem in children, entertains children, teaches self-awareness, self respect, values and most importantly respect for others.

Little House of Music is so overly exaggerated that students learn and don’t even realize they are learning. Little House of music is fun, and music should be fun. Our students never practice the piano, they play the piano.

There are thousands of different styles and sounds in music. In our musical home, Little House of Music children’s ears hear bagpipes, accordions, rain sticks, harps, didgeridoos, saxophones, children also are introduced to different styles of music such as jazz, classical, marches, Celtic, opera and mood music to name just a few.

Children at age four can tell you the difference between the musical terms instrumental and A cappella.

Little House of music prepares a child to play the instrument of their choice in the first three levels or 30 lessons. Although we encourage our students to continue with the piano because it is the only instrument that continues to teach both clefs, dynamics, appreciation and music theory.

Students are taught the importance of listening to Mozart while doing homework or studying.

Little House of Music helps prepare our students for formal education. We encourage students to speak or sing into a microphone by having show-time at the end of each class.

Time after time University studies have proven that children who study music do better in math, reading and science skills.

In Little House of Music the children appreciate our free music concerts every morning. Our bird ensemble entertains us every morning until our world gets noisy.

In Little House of Music children learn that it is OK to be shy, to cry, and to make a mistake and to never to say can’t.

The only universal language we have in the world is music. When a child plays a song they are playing that song the same way any other child in our universe would play that same song. Could music possibly be the catalyst that unites our world into a peaceful world?
