Online Resources

This one I just found has interactive games to test musical concepts such as rhythm, note naming, key signatures etc. I hope you get a chance to explore the possibilities at: http://www.emusictheory.com/practice.html

Preview of Spring

As the weather fluctuated from -20 to 40 last week, I made an emergency trip to the grocery store to pick up charcoal and steaks. As I lit the grill, it really set in that spring is almost here and what a great feeling that is!

Spring is always a busy time, with spring cleaning, starting a new season of sports, concerts and contests. It's easy to get overwhelmed. The important thing is keep the big picture in mind, and try to keep making progress as we go along. Here we go!
