Hi everyone! Can you believe it’s August 1st! Wow! Summer has flown! I start lessons next week with our fall kickoff. Who else is starting back with fall semester soon?

I wanted to let everyone know about a couple updates in the Magical Lute; A Musical Quest files because Facebook is not always good about letting everyone see the posts. I updated the Creative Story Composition file (included in deluxe or as an ala-carte item) as I noticed a small layout problem on the composition pages. So that is all fixed. Also I added a poster (included in both basic and deluxe) if your students like to see where everyone else is at. I was going back and forth whether to do that this year and then a teacher asked if I had one available because her students are very motivated by it. So there you go! It is ready for everyone to re-download.

Speaking of the Quest. Thank you so much for the feedback I’ve gotten so far! I just have to share a couple awesome feedbacks I got on TpT…

I absolutely cannot wait to use this program with my students! Having used Jennifer’s “Reach Beyond the Stars” program last year, I have no doubt that this program will be as enthusiastically received as last year’s. Every detail has been provided in this program, including a fantastic poster for students to track each other’s progress, a big hit in my studio. The interactive Aurasma app pushes this material “over the edge” in providing students challenging tasks to accompany their weekly practice. My 16 yr old granddaughter was visiting when I printed out the materials and expressed her desire to take piano lessons in order to participate in the program! My elementary and middle schoolers will certainly enjoy this, and my advanced students will most likely use portions of the program in combination with other incentives. Thank you, Jennifer, for your creativity and willingness to share your brilliant talent with all of us! Nancy S.

“I have been looking this over and am having a blast redoing my music room – Medieval style! Thank you Jennifer for taking all the hard work out of this for teachers. I know that my students are going to have a blast this year and so will I! This was a lot of hard work on your part and I know I can use every element of this incentive program. Well worth the investment.” Barbara

I love hearing these things, totally makes my day so THANK YOU!!!
