Hi my wonderful piano students and Studio 517 alumni! You may have heard… after a sabbatical and Covid dilemma… Studio 517 piano studio is resuming lessons at our new Alpharetta, GA location!
May I ask a favor? Would you take a moment and write a honest (but hopefully positive 🤗) review to help me get established in a new location/state?
I would be so grateful - miss all my Texas “tejas” and hugs to you all!!
Remember what we say… “play for the sheer JOY of it!”

Try this game - pick 4 notes randomly from flash cards or from the piano. Then, like this girl, create a composition from those four notes in whatever style you choose.
While she is very talented, there’s no reason piano students can not create their own songs.
What makes her so good?
1. She has studied many genres.
2. She has listened to many
composers and styles.
3. She is fearless and she plays for fun
If she can do it then so can you even if your composition is not as advanced!!!
Keep playing for the sheer joy of it!

Studio 517, in Steiner Ranch since 2007, is relocating - to Atlanta!
It has been an honor and a blessing to have come alongside and launched/encouraged/trained so many wonderful students on their musical journey as they unwrapped and developed the gift of being able to play piano 🎹. Thank you parents for entrusting me with your most precious blessings - your kids.
I am blown away by my students' progress, blessed by all the awesome kids and adults that the Lord has sent me through the years, and thankful when I even see some of them pursuing music at college as their major!
IAs we leave our home in Steiner, I will forever remember the sounds of beautiful music echoing in my home studio and the fun, hugs and laughter of not only weekly lessons but our sing-a-long piano parties 🎉🎉🎉
The hilarious part is I've always struggled with a fear of personal failure that caused me to almost not teach or to quit - but the Lord likes to help us overcome our fears and I've been blessed beyond measure through each of my students - thank you!
If you have any photos or videos you wish to post here as a video scrapbook of our time together since 2007, I would be so grateful . please feel free to do so as I will cherish the memories. I believe you can post - will check on...
Keep playing - and play for the sheer joy of it. 🤗. That is not just a motto or clever marketing phrase. Music is a gift from God - treasure it for life and I will do the same.
Love to each and every one of my piano students and their families. I pray you each find a new teacher and continue the journey.
❤️😅🎹🎉
