Second Week of 2015 and more

We have been in school 2 weeks for 2015, and it feels like we never had a break.  On Saturday the 24th, Kier and Gabe Ramos will play in the Jazz Pop and Rock Recital at the Piano Gallery.  Because this is a large group, it has been divided.  My students are to be there at 11:00.
Sonatina entries are in and this is the largest group in the history of LMTA. That is great.  We do this festival at Texas Tech on February 14th.  Specifics will come later.  The week of February 7-8, is the second theory test for the school year.
Also, Spring Festival music will be started in the next few weeks too.
Here is a site to check your vocabulary skills. http://www.quizfreak.com/how-well-do-you-know-basic-music-terminology/index1.html

And now for this weeks trivia question.  Franz Liszt was as great a pianist as _________was a violinist.  Name two ways that Liszt was similar to today's rock stars.    And last of all: What musical time period did Liszt belong?
