October Habit of Mind: Striving for Accuracy
Successful people who strive for accuracy take time to check their product. They desire and value craftsmanship! They take pride in their work.
“A man who has committed a mistake and doesn’t correct it is committing another mistake.” ~Confucius
It is important to keep trying and checking…trying and checking…trying and checking…until you make it the best you can.
“My motto was to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was to keep swinging.” ~Hank Aaron

NEW AFTER SCHOOL CLASS AVAILABLE
Private Violin Lessons are now available after School on Mondays
Crystal Chiu-Von Pischke
Do you have a child who loves music, but hasn’t picked up an instrument before? Or maybe you have a child who already plays in orchestra, and could benefit from private instruction. I can help! I have been teaching kids for almost 10 years. I have extensive experience in solo violin repertoire, orchestral repertoire, chamber music, and fiddle music. I incorporate some singing, dancing, music theory, and ear training into my lessons. I believe in making learning fun, and my reward comes from seeing your child grow and progress. Please email me if interested! Crystal Chiu-Von Pischke, truthordare831@gmail.com
