Our first Zoom Group Class was a lot of fun!
First of all, it was great to see all of the cute pets who wandered in and out and seemed interested in your music, and also for us to see your piano area! Second, all the students included some sort of “decoration” for the piano to describe their piece. It was lovely to hear the pieces, and also to see what creative ideas students used to represent their pieces. I’m including some photos. There were so many more, so please send me your photos if able. Students also demonstrated impressive artistic ability with even hand drawn and handcrafted the decor!
Madison: “Phantom of the Opera” (handmade origami flowers, Phantom picture)
Luke: “Longing” (2 Lego figures on either side of the piano, fresh flowers and greenery)
Judson: “El Zapateado” (Latin dancer costume/hat, fresh flowers)
Sky: “Valse Mélancolique” (hand-drawn Italian film icons)
Lilia: “Sonatina op. 100” (spiky headband, butterflies, music box dancer)
Lucas: “Bright Orange” (orange and orange basketball)
Megan: Bach’s “Fugue in D minor” (stuffed chicken saying “bak”)
Alex: Chopin “Waltz in F Major” (3/4 of piano covered)
Gavin: “Amazing Grace” (amazing lego angel and lego piano)
Max: “Innocent” (glass of water)
Calvin: Alla Tarantella (spider decor)
Chloe: Bach “Prelude and Fugue in Em” (Dog and Clock)
Gavin’s piano, created for “Amazing Grace”!
Gavin’s brother Zachary designed and created this lego angel!
Luke’s piece was called “Longing”. See the lego figures reaching for each other? What instrument is that on top of the piano?
Judson dressed as the “El Zapateado!” The definition is a Mexican dancer who taps his feet while dancing.
