Piano Drorp in is starting tomorrow

Before I can even start work on the post grads, I need to set up lesson plans for my piano drop in program. This program is a weekly drop in hour where the students sign up for any wednesday in the Summer. I opened the hour to all levels so I have the problem now of meeting the needs of the differing levels. This sounds like a challenge, yet if I think about it, they all have a commen desire to make music for one hour on a summer afternoon. No one is going forward in their studies. Rather it is a fun one hour singing their favorite songs, working on the ear training, composing, improvising, and ensemble fun. I also would like to add a new reading piece for each level. I was thinking of using one melody and making four levels. This could be a lot of fun but I better get to it. I was thinking of America for the first piece because it is July fourth weekend.
