Russon Piano Studio

I had such a wonderful opportunity to attend a Zoom presentation with Chee-Hwa Tan yesterday! Chee-Hwa Tan presented on why she became a composer, and how she teaches using her compositions.

Chee-Hwa writes her music with student technique in mind, and helps students achieve the sounds they want by thinking about the feelings the music creates. Her music is focused on the story, emotions, and sounds of the piece.

I loved seeing her perform and share her music (and the poetry which inspires it) with us. It’s definitely on my “to-acquire” wishlist! Thank you to Chee-Hwa Tan and to Heather Smith for arranging the presentation.

All of the feelings of a first day of school! Miss E. learned "School Bell Is Ringing!" today. It's our first day of school here, and the song was unplanned, so we got a good laugh out of it!

So excited for tonight’s recital!
