Natalie and Brice will perform on July 15th, 2009 at the Malaga Cove Library concert series in Palos Verdes. This is an outdoor evening concert; bring your picnic and blanket and hear music under the stars.
The address for the Library is 2400 Via Campesina, Palos Verdes Estates. The concert starts at 7:00 PM, but the park opens at 3:00. Make sure to get a good space; they fill up quickly.

Learning tip: In order to truly master an instrument, one must practice seven times a week; five minimum.
Learning tip: Practice every day in a relaxed fashion for short amounts of time. This will make learning music fun.

Learning Tip: To memorize a piece, play a small portion with the music; immediately look away and see if you can play without the music. Go back and forth in this way; remember to stay relaxed.
Practice: With children, we parents need to sit with them while they practice, a lot like how homework should be done. Make sure they practice well, and that you are patient and loving. It's not always easy to do, but it works.

Pick a small section of music and play it five times-- Small meaning no more than one measure.
When you are getting ready to perform, play for your family, a neighbor and a friend; make three performances of it. This will help you learn to perform for others.
