Three Ancient Muses

Three

Ancient

Muses

The Roman scholar Varro relates that there are only three muses:

One who is born from the movement of water,

another who makes sound

by striking the air,

and a third who is embodied only in

the human voice.

They were Melete (Practice),
Mneme (Memory), and Aoide (Song).

PRACTICE CHALLENGE

FOR PARENTS

* Family-hosted

performance groups

To be a host, please text me with your interest.
Host families will receive a certificate for a bonus lesson (not for regular lesson payment). Please contact me to make arrangements for your extra lesson.

* Supporting Student Practice

Read your child's notebook to them before they practice as a reminder of the assignment, elements to focus on, and practice suggestions.
Just sit in the same room with them while they practice! Read, do some paperwork...your mere presence is supportive.
If you're in another room, shout out to them if you hear something you like, or when you notice improvement.
