This year has certainly had its ups and downs but since joining the Your Space Music Lessons team, it's been getting better and better and I've gained lots of amazing students. I hope 2022 has the same in store!

Here's a video of some of my lovely (and mostly little) students playing Feliz Navidad for you all. I hope you enjoy it and I wish you all a Happy New Year and stay safe.

A parent of a lovely little budding student of mine sent this video to me earlier today. The video has been passed around their family in Italy and the UK to show the progress made after just over a year of learning. I have been given full permission by Fillipa's Dad to post this video to show you all how talented Filippa really is.

Here is 'Vampire Blues' from the ABRSM Grade 1 2011-2012 syllabus performed by Filippa.

Enjoy folks 🎶

*Spaces still available for lessons!*

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all staying well!

Last week was a very exciting and busy week. I had two taster students - one was even in Switzerland - and I welcomed back an old student who has not had a lesson since the pandemic started. This week involves a new adult student looking to expand on their jazz skills which is exciting!

I would also like to share the certificates of the Level 2 courses I completed last year. These courses not only helped keep me busy during the first and second lockdowns, they provided me will the basic knowledge on two topics I would love to incorporate into my career (obviously with music being the source of therapy).

Have a lovely week everyone,
Kacie 🎶

After seeing several small businesses using a UK sales map to track how far they are reaching with their sales, I thought I would do the same thing for the sales of my digital sheet music arrangements. Whilst my sheet music sales don't reap lots of money, I enjoy arranging and hope to continue publishing arrangements on Sheet Music Plus over time to build up a larger catalogue of arrangements. Sheet Music Plus is a mostly used in the United States, which is very obvious in my sales as I have covered every state at least twice in the last few years! I have also reached over 20 countries and within this 14 UK postcode areas (not bad for an American site).

Please bare me in mind if you require solo, duet, quartet etc. arrangements for performance and feel free to browse the store. Furthermore. if there is a public domain or specific song (providing the copyright and requirements are met), please give me a shout and I can most likely rustle up and arrangement for you.

As usual, I have more spaces for piano, ukulele, saxophone, and music theory lessons - just message me to arrange a 30 minute free lesson! And if you do not want any sheet music, then you can enjoy these maps I have coloured (or just enjoy them anyway!) 😂
