Mongkol is a 61-year-old former logging elephant. His captive-held life was spent hauling trees in the Thai forest. His body shape is deformed through hard lab...our, he lost his right eye and tusk in this brutal logging practice. Mongkol was rescued and brought to Elephants World to spend the rest of his days relaxing peacefully in freedom by the River Kwai. I discovered Mongkol is an extremely gentle, sensitive elephant who enjoys music, especially this slow movement by Beethoven which I play to him occasionally in the day and night. See more

LISTEN!!! COME IN A LITTLE CLOSER I hope everyone is having a great summer even though we have to stay close to home. We are now in Phase Three of the COVID plan so we have a couple of ways to start piano lessons - still online or in person, with protocols. Piano lessons can be such a gift to a person, from preschoolers right up to adults, that probably always wanted to learn to play the piano but life got in the way. I know from experience that it's never too late. I am now taking registration for piano lessons that will start in August, and continuing into the new fall semester. Register now and receive a 20% discount for the August lessons (this is for new students only). Contact me at 250-213-7883 or [email protected]. www.sagepianostudio.com TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DISCOUNT NOW.

Does your child love to: Play music or sing? Compose their own songs? Sight read popular music? Play familiar tunes by ear?... Perform in recitals & band? Studying for a theory exam? Master Your Musicianship Skills with Ultimate Music Theory Club Classes! Theory is the foundation every student of music needs to build their musical knowledge and confidently show excellence in music performance & master musicianship skills are easy when you learn music theory! Come and join the fun. Contact Trish Moore at 250-213-7883 or at [email protected].

For teachers, if you are familiar with the Ultimate Music Theory books, I have to say that the training they have for teachers is also amazing. If you don't feel too confident teaching the theory, or if you'd like to get a new certification, please go have a look. Another program they have now is called the "UMTC Elite Educator Program", which I am doing at the moment and is amazing. If you know the teaching of theory, but are not sure how to market, don't know quite what to do with the running of the business, you should check this out. Visit https://my.ultimatemusictheory.com/a/30347/BNJmZ89C and check it out. I highly recommend it.

Good advice.....thanks to Music Makes Our Students Smarter for sharing.....

Am I glad that I live in Canada.

Supporting your children is one of the biggest gifts you can ever give. Thanks dads.

I am now running a promotion until the end of June for all of your preschoolers. I am offering the first 3 trial lessons at half price of $12.50. When the lessons are done, you can decide to continue or not. It is your choice. Call 250-213-7883

Those teachers who use the Tonara practice app now can reach students all over the world with Tonara Connect. This is the link to my profile page. Come and have a look. It's a really nice add on. https://connect.tonara.com/teachers/profile/patriciamoore2

WHEW! Two months on and we're still standing. How great is that. It's hard to make a big change in what seemed a split second, but we've done it. The best way we could continue with piano lessons was online, so that's what we did, and are still doing. There is always a way to pass along the love of music and giving the gift of music. I do have several time slots still available for summer lessons. Come and join me. Contact Trish at 250-213-7883.

He called out to his Mom .... who died 2 years ago on this same dayRIP Handcuffed. Face Down. Knee on his neck. They did nothing.... He called the officer "Sir." They did nothing. He begged for his life. He begged for water. He begged for mercy. They did nothing. His nose bled. His body trembled. He lost control of his bladder. They did nothing. He cried out, "I can't breathe." They did nothing. Twelve more times. "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." "I can't breathe." They did nothing. One last time, he gasped, "I can't breathe." They did nothing. He lost consciousness. They did nothing. A firefighter demanded they check his pulse. They did nothing. Off duty medical personnel begged them to stop. They did nothing. Deprived of oxygen. His organs screaming. His brain frantic. They did nothing. They watched George Floyd die. His life fading. A slow death. They did nothing. A lynching on the ground. They did nothing. For eight agonizing minutes. Four officers watched. He cried out for his Mom... A grown man... Crying out for the woman who gave him life.... As he feared joining her in death. And still they did nothing. A black man. A gentle giant. Murdered because he was black. And still, they've done nothing.. The officers should be arrested. And still they've done nothing. Dont be too heartless to type REST IN PEACE Rest In Peace May justice be served keep Sharing to everyone and all groups on Facebook DON'T BREAK THE CHAIN LET'S REACH 10 MILLION SHARES BLACK IS HUMAN TOO, NO HUMAN BEING IS MORE HUMAN THAN ANOTHER HUMAN.

This is a great place for a walk; wear comfortable shoes. On the outer side there’s open ocean. It gets very busy everyday and forget trying to park close by.

ARE WE IN OR OUT? That is the question these days living through our altered lives. But one thing hasn't changed. Piano lessons are still going on, online as they are right now, and at some point at my Studio. There is never a time that music is not important in our lives, young or old. I teach during July and August and am now setting up my summer and fall schedules. This is a good time to focus on theory, for students studying for exams, or band students who want to add... to their musical knowledge. This time is also great for students that are preparing for their practical piano exams, to get extra practice time. Register now to reserve your time slot, as schedules fill up quickly this time of year. Please visit www.sagepianostudio.com as well as www.Facebook.com/sage piano to learn more about what my Studio offers. Because COVID-19 is still here, lessons will be online until we get the all clear.

I FOUND A NEW MALL AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEAVE HOME TO GO SHOPPING. This is a unique way to present local businesses in the Sooke Region. Go have a look and see what it's all about.

NO MUSIC? NO PROBLEM! I am a piano/theory teacher and know for sure that now is a great time to start lessons. While we have to spend our time at home, online lessons have been a godsend. I will continue to provide online lessons until we can move about again. Call me at (250) 213-7883.

If this little one can navigate this world of ours, I think we can weather the storm we are in right now. We all want this virus to stop controlling our lives, but we must follow the guidelines. WE CAN DO THIS!
