Welcome back 2017
We have kicked off the new term!!
I'd like to welcome back to all of our former students, and to all
of our new students that have joined us in 2017.
We have some exciting things coming soon and I look forward
to letting you all know when the time comes.
There has been a slight delay with the make-up lesson schedule.
It was planned to be released last week, but we have had so
many schedule changes at the start of this year that it had to be
re-worked. It should be out in the next couple of days.
In the meantime if you would like to take any make-up lessons
this coming week please feel free to give us a call or send an
email and we will let you know what is available.

Parents did you know that 90% of students DON’T practice on the summer school
holiday break? And not just at our school EVERYWHERE. So If you didn’t see them do
much practice on the holidays you’re not alone!
On the holidays they spend our time having fun and get out of sync of their normal
routine. It’s common for the whole family to take a break. As a music teacher I think
breaks are important, but during that time you might find your child is now
de-motivated, and doesn’t really feel like starting lessons again.
Most of the time they are still interested, but they don’t really feel like going back
into a regular routine or they are worried about how much trouble they are going to
get into when they get back to class.
No worries! A few lessons in will remedy those feelings. They will come back to class
and remember that it’s not just about learning, but the overall experience, and their
relationship with their music and their teacher.
So if you are trying to find ways to inspire your little musician and get excited about
upcoming classes in the new year here are some helpful tips:
Their teacher is NOT going to get angry at them!! I’m the last person to yell at ANY of
my students and yet they come into class year after year and sheepishly admit that
they haven’t done anything over the holidays. They expect to be reprimanded!
AHHHH NO! I’ll tell you a secret? Us teachers haven't been doing much practice
either. So there you go! Enjoy your break because we did!
If you are going to practice on the holidays it should be fun! You can still work on
pieces that the teacher has given, but in my opinion during a break I much rather
work on writing a new song or working out how to play a song from ear. Or better yet
try to learn a theme song to my favorite tv show.
Starting listening to lots of music around the house. There is nothing like getting
inspired by listening to great music, and if you do find something you really like, PLAY
IT! Who cares if you can only play the first line or one cord. At least you gave it a try
and when you do get to class AH HA! All the sudden you have a new song to start
with your teacher on day one.
Last but not least. Ease into it. The holiday break is not long enough to undo your
hard work, but if you are feeling a bit rusty you can brush up on the basics. My piano
students find it hard to remember all of the music notes when they get back. A few
lessons will remedy that, but using some flash cards and having a few 10 minutes
sessions the week leading up to classes can also do wonders.

So I recommend going and getting an app called Tenuto for reading notes. If you are
not tech savvy, or don’t have the technology, then you can use good old paper.
I have made some wonderful flashcards for you to download, print out, and use at
home whenever you like.
And when music lessons have started back up again remember we do it because we
like it not because it’s a chore. Yes learning music is hard work, but the fulfillment and
enjoyment that comes from it should be the primary focus.
So we have already started lessons for the year. I look forward to what this year has
to offer.
All the best

Dear Clients,
I don’t usually post personal stories, but I wanted to take the time to reflect on what
music means to me and how it has changed my life for the better.
When I say music is EVERYTHING to me I’m not kidding.
I’m not just talking about the music school. Yes, it has been amazing. I have an
amazing staff by my side, wonderful clients and students, and the best job ever, but it
was my personal development as a young musician that helped me gain so many
skills that have now translated into my adult life.
I will forever be thankful of my parents who paid for my music lessons and supported
me.
I will never regret the tears or hard work. Nor will I hold it against my teacher when
she was hard on me and I went home crying. I will never regret that I could probably
be way better now if I just practiced more when I was young. Nor will I feel ashamed
about those few disaster performances in my past.
A Personal Post from our Director Jenaye
Gleeson

Music helped me get through the pitfalls of my life. The hardest moments and I
embrace every step along the way because it has shaped me into the person I am
today. Goal setting taught me how to reach places I never dreamed. Dedication and
hard work towards practice enabled me with the tools I needed to get to where I
wanted. The mental processing benefits from reading and playing music helped me
stay sharp so I can think logical, but nothing served me more then the experience.
Emotion, communication, perception all linked with music helped me through my
young development years. Lifted me up when I felt like I couldn’t sink any lower.
Helped me through anxiety and depression. Got me through uni which was probably
the most turbulent time of my life. Helped me process my emotion towards
situations to see things from a winder prospective instead of a narrow one.
Music taught me how to be independent and compassionate. A while I am no where
near perfect it helped me with the confidence I needed to feel safe in my own skin
and thankful for everything I have.
Music enriches a peoples lives. It can be enjoyed by any person listening or playing no
matter what level they may be. It is priceless and to be shared and that is why Replay
Music Academy exists.
I hope you are all enjoying your new year and I look forward to teaching again at the
end of January. I am thankful that every day I get to see students who’s lives are
positively effected by music and hopefully one day see music the way I do as
something that enriches every aspect of life.
With love,
