Larimer Music would like to welcome our newest piano student, Oliver. Oliver is 6 yrs old and is in Kindergarten. We are excited to work with you Oliver!

Congratulations to vocal students, Lydia and Hunter. Both sang solos for ISSMA and received 1st place (Gold) ratings at the district and state levels. Lydia sang “Ici Bas” in French and Hunter sang “Still Wie Die Nacht” in German. We are proud of both of them for their hard work and wonderful performances.

We would like to send out a very warm welcome to our newest piano student, 9 year old Adrian.  We are thrilled to have you join us here at Larimer Music!

Larimer Music would like to welcome our newest student, Aubrey.  Aubrey is a piano student who attends Munster High School.  We are thrilled she has chosen to study with us.

Congratulations to our October Practice Minutes Contest winners-Brent for our 11-14 age group and Iris for our 10 and under age group.  November contest winners will be announced by the end of this week.  Way to go Brent and Iris!

Please note that we are discontinuing the contest for the months of December and January.  However, as our students have been doing a great job of practicing, let’s try to  keep it up even though the contest has been temporarily suspended.

Congratulations to our winners of the September Practice Minutes Contest.  Our 11-14 winner was Logan and our 10 and under winner was Riley.  Both Logan and Riley received a Target gift card for practicing piano the most minutes during the month of September.  Remember pianists — practicing builds finger dexterity, note recognition, and muscle memory.  Practice=success!

Larimer Music would like to give a warm welcome to our newest piano students.  Back in June we added Lucy, Christina, and Hunter and in August added these three listed below.  We are excited to be working with you and to hearing all of you make beautiful music in our next recital!

WELCOME

Here is our student Logan playing the keyboard in his very first worship service.  He did a fantastic job as did the other young people who played and sang.  He worked very hard on these songs. We are so proud of him. Practice truly does pay off!

Welcome back students!  Our Summer Lesson Schedule has officially begun.  We are also thrilled to welcome new vocal students–Christina and Hunter.   Welcome as well to our youngest piano student, Lucy (Ms. Laura’s granddaughter).  We’d also like to welcome Iris back for the summer.  It’s shaping up to be a great summer session!

Congratulations to current and past students from left: Taylor, Rebecca, and Amanda.  All three of these high school seniors received 1st place awards for their vocal solos in the Illinois High School Solo and Ensemble competition in March.  Both Amanda and Rebecca worked with Ms. Laura in January and February on their songs.  Rebecca sang “Un Giorno Per Noi” in Italian and Amanda sang “Pokarekare Ana” in Maori.  Taylor hasn’t been a part of our musical family in an official capacity for a over a year, but her solo of “On My Own” is one she worked on with Ms. Laura.  We are so proud of them.  All three are also graduating from TF South High School this month as well.  We wish them all the best in their very bright futures.

Congratulations to Kate for winning the “perfect” homework contest for April.  She not only had all of her music theory homework worksheets correctly completed, but she also completed the “Race to Name the Notes” in the fastest  amount of time–Under 10 seconds.  Kate won a gift card to Target.  Great job Kate!

Please note that all competitions have ended until the Fall Schedule begins in late August.  Too many students miss lessons on a frequent basis during May-mid August due to sports and vacations to be able to run a fair competition.

Again, congratulations to Kate.
