Students, always remember that the TRUE REWARD is in the music-making itself!  Never give up on your talents and dreams! 

Congrats to our 1-minute club members!! 

Recruiting MORE MEMBERS!  So, make sure to include flashcard drill in EVERY practice session!

And, don't forget,

you never know when you'll have a "check-up test" to see if you STILL qualify as a 1-minute club member .... keep drilling, even after you've joined!
