For Meg Bohls, music is more than just notes and chords.

When students in Artesia come to their eclectic etude music studio for piano and language lessons, they also register for their lessons.

All three courses will be exhibited on Saturday, May 10th, when Bohls appears in the estelle Yates Yates auditorium in the Yates Auditorium estelle, 301 Bulldog Bulldog Bulldog.

Officially entitled “Eclletic Etude: Where Music meets magic”, the program becomes piano and language students, all students in the primary schools, a large number of musical selections and a jury. Trophies are presented to the winners of the first, second and third place together with medals for the honorable mention.

“I really just wanted to create a topic or a mood that gave the actors the chance to select everything in their activities of clothing, music and before the show,” said Bohls. “I love the idea of ​​doing a night” Mock Grammy Awards “because she will prepare you for future performances that create positive pressure on the artist to help you grow and control your techniques. I try to make every event magical, but this will take the cake. I hope it is an important and unforgettable moment for everyone.”

An afternoon program for initial students is not open to the public, but advanced students will appear for the show for the show from 6.45 p.m., each of which is 5 US dollars and will be available at the door.

Bohls said that Artesia residents could see the concert as a night in the city.

“We have food during the break. I will let judge come out and write a feedback form. We have trophies,” she said.

Bohls said their general goal is that students learn life skills while they learn performance songs and reading of seeing and also have fun during the exercise sessions.

Bohls did not tell her students too much about the program in advance, and it is surprised for her in the performance night.

“Except that it is a Grammy topic and appears in her chic clothing,” she said. “I call it a black-tie event, so I wear the most elegant and chic what you have.”

One of the Bohls students, the Zia Intermediate School sixth grader Evelyn Drake, said she started to learn her performance song in March. Evelyn will sing Strong, a song that was made popular by contemporary Christian and country singer/songwriter Anne Wilson.

“I try to concentrate a lot on it and we also learn how to read notes from the piano,” said Drake.

The third grader of the Yucca Elementary School, Katie Marquez, said reading music during training was one of her learning goals before the performance.

“I hope I can do good. It's just about having fun,” she said.

Bohls emphasizes the importance of working in the studio for the students. She said that homework was of crucial importance for services.

“I try to implement different types of homework and they move quickly,” she said. “It's like five minutes in books, five minutes to strengthen the fingers, five minutes on performance songs so that they change it a lot.”

Bohls likes that her students earn points, which leads to prices.

“You can turn a price wheel from time to time,” she said. “You can” gain free “cards” from prison “if you miss the training. You can exchange it. The main focus is our focus on enjoying music. I think your talent and your efforts are of course growing.

“Ultimately, these students poured their hearts and souls into learning their instrument. I make sure that they know and understand before the show that they are valued, worthy of and loved whether they take an award home. The goal is to increase the joy of the student in life and give them a healthy outcome that, like an endless ripple, who continues to affect life.”
