Welcome all students and families to a new year.We have a number of new families joining Individual Dynamics and
we warmly welcome you.I hope you
have all had a safe and relaxing holiday period. I look forward to
the term ahead with great anticipation.New students are beginning lessons, new learning materials
will be purchased and written and continuing students will be an ongoing
pleasure to teach.
Last term saw the studio
move into new premises.(This meant
some instability during lessons and in business – thank you to all of you who
patiently endured these changes.)The new premises offers advantages for creative lesson
activities and comfort for people waiting for or during lessons.
Congratulations!
Sincere
congratulations are extended to Karen, who sat her 3rd grade
practical AMEB exams last term.Karen,
you rose above your circumstances and for that I am very proud of you. Well
done, Riannah.After consistent
effort and enthusiasm during lessons, Riannah achieved the first of her Bronze
Awards and completed beginner Stage 1.

Mozart Happy birthday to
everyone who has their birthday this month. You share the month with the
famous classical composer Mozart.
January 27th
marks the 250th birthday anniversary of Wolfgang Mozart.He was born in Salzburg Austria (Europe) and began learning and writing
music when he was only 3 years old.He
began playing an instrument like the piano when he was 4 and performed for the
Empress of Austria when he was 6. Mozart was a famous
composer when he was 14 years old.During
his life he wrote 22 operas (musical stories), 40 symphonies (pieces written for
orchestra) and many sonatas, concertos, serenades and church-choir songs for
harpsichord (like a piano) and violin.His
music involves a lot of feelings (lively, sad, serious, pretty, funny).He spent his life writing and performing music, but most of his work
became popular after he died at 35 years of age.
I
look forward to seeing you soon.
