Are you looking for the right motivation to help you or your music student get to the next level? If so, The 10x Rule is one book that should definitely be on your reading list! Whether you are a parent of a music student or a music teacher yourself, this book (in my opinion) can change your life. I recently read the book after being introduced to it by my coach – yes, I have a coach too- and WOW! This book is not directed specifically toward music students, teachers, or parents but the information it contains can be of great value to either of these.

First, in the interest of full disclosure, if you decide to click the link above and purchase The 10x Rule I will receive an affiliate fee that will help provide more music training to more students.

BUT that is not the main reason I am sharing this book with you.

I’m sharing The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure because it has been extremely helpful and motivating for me – so much so that after reading it, I required (yes REQUIRED) both my teenagers to read it and strongly suggested that my husband read it as well. So far, my son has encouraged his friends to read it (no affiliate link) and my daughter has started speaking in 10x (she literally judges situations against concepts in the book). Then there’s my husband – not only is he reading the book, he is also listening to the audio version of it.

If you’re curious to know WHY all of us are so into this book, I encourage you to pick up a copy today. Read a few pages and then come back to this post and let me know your thoughts. I have a really good feeling that you’ll be impressed and motivated to keep reading!  The 10X Rule: The Only Difference Between Success and Failure

Another Valentine’s Day Themed Music Activity!

Conductor's BouquetThis Valentine’s Day Themed Conductors Bouquet is going to be used in 3 ways in my studio next week:

– To teach kids which hand plays treble clef notes and which plays bass clef notes

– To teach kids how to feel different time signatures by conducting with the wands

– As a decoration to brighten up the studio so I can see kids’ faces light up as they enter for their lessons

When students arrive for lessons, I will be playing Bob Marley’s “One Love” and Annie Lennox and Al Green’s “Put A Little Love In Your Heart”. The Student will take a wand from the bouquet and using the correct hand for the symbol on the heart join me in conducting the song. We will extend the activity by conducting some of the pieces that they are working on as well. At the end of their lesson they will get to take the wand home to keep!

Here’s what you need in order to do this activity:

1. Valentine’s Wands from Dollar Tree (They come in packs of 3)

2. A sharpie marker to draw bass clef and treble clef symbols on the hearts

3. A nice vase to keep them in

4. Songs of different time signatures

That’s it!

Before we go I have a question: What other Valentine Themed songs can you suggest with different time signatures that can be used in this lesson? Please let me know in a comment below!
