For the last couple weeks, I noticed that one of my students was suddenly showing remarkable improvement in her pieces. I complimented her in front of her mother, who said, 'Well, we saw Yvonne's Practicing 101 tips in the last newsletter and really took it to heart!'

Another student's family, after reading in the progress report I wrote that her weakest area was practicing at home, stepped up their home practice routine, which resulted in improvement by leaps and bounds! Even though piano does not seem to come easily to this student, she is feeling encouraged by the discovery of what she can do when she really puts her mind to it!"
