Welcome to Melody Piano

CONGRATULATIONS to good friend and fellow colleague Meri Dolevski-Lewis!  (Canada)

I had a wonderful phone conversation with Meri the other day about a student of hers.  "Being that I don't have a degree in my profession, this was something of a triumph for me", says Meri.  What is this accomplishment you wonder? 

Meri has had a student that has worked hard to get into a program for her university's music program.  This is a student that My colleague Meri has invested in;  this investment is one that makes us as music educators more than proud to do what we do every day.  Meri has been preparing for her student's achievement exams for a long time coming. 

I remember speaking with Meri about this student.  She had told me that this was a student that was very passionate about becoming an accomplished musician in her field, yet did not have the funds for training. 

What did Meri Do? 

She found a solution!  She has told me time and time again that this is a student that she feels will "go all the way". 

Meri was right!  She told me that she needed help with her paperwork, and administrative duties at her studio.  What better person could fit the job?  Meri hired this determined student to be her administrative assistant.  In return, it would cover the cost of lessons for her.  WOW did it pay off! 

Meri Dolevski-Lewis; has shown us all as teachers that it is important to remember that we do what we can with what we have.  I more than respect her teaching methods.  Every time that I speak with Meri, I leave the conversation with a feeling of ambition for my own studio.  This is a teacher to look out for!  I can honestly say that she inspires me!

I spoke with Meri about this student the other day.  She more than passed her entry exams for University in Toronto.  She has recieved a 50% scholarship with exeptance to her school due to her exam markings!
