Magical evening

This will do.

Congratulations 🎉 to Howard who received ARSM Diploma with Distinction. It’s already a huge achievement to receive ARSM Diploma at his age, which is equivalent to college music major level of performance. And to receive it with a Distiction speaks to the dedication, attention, and sensitivity Howard brought into his performance. His mom is in the picture too because an achieving like this only happens with a team work!

So very grateful for these students and their families. They’re “my people” and I would’ve never found them without piano and music. Our annual Winterfall Concert was a success and left all of us feeling warm and grateful inside 💕💫🍂

33 minutes before midnight - Happy Halloween from Captain Piano and I.

October is when I enjoy doing improvisation with students. And Halloween is a great cause for it! Helps to have a guest listener 😉

Enjoying this beautiful autumn day in western Washington. Every day I get some sun is a happy day 💕

🎂 Today, Simple & Beautiful Piano turns 1! 🎹
This journey has been full of stories, music, and moments I never dreamed possible. The picture is the screenshot of the homepage when the website was first launched. Wow, it feels like it was such a long time ago!

Over the past year, students around the world have been discovering the joy of music — from first-time beginners to lifelong dreamers finally sitting at the piano.

To celebrate, the course is available at its launch year price of $197 until October 10th (Pacific Time). After that, the price increases to $297 and will never go lower again.

If you’ve ever dreamed of learning piano, now’s the time. 🎶

🌙✨ Music of Joy & Healing ✨🌙

At midnight tonight October 10 (Pacific Time), I’ll be live on YouTube for a 20–30 minute piano concert to celebrate the 1-year anniversary of Simple & Beautiful Piano.

This will be an intimate program of music I’ve curated around the themes of joy and healing — and I’ll share a little about why this midnight moment matters to me.

🎶 “Piano became my light through grief, depression, and MS.” —Sunshine

Music has a way of carrying us through life’s hardest seasons. Sunshine’s story is one of the most powerful examples I’ve seen as a teacher.

Her courage reminds me why music matters. Read her story here: https://thefairyofdisenchantment.wordpress.com/

When I started this journey, I had no idea how to set up a mic, a camera, or edit a video. 🎤📹

I just felt a strong conviction to create a course — so I jumped in, figuring things out one piece at a time.

Fast forward one year:
✨ Simple & Beautiful Piano now has students from all over the world.
✨ My YouTube videos have been watched hundreds of thousands of times.

It’s been messy at times (lots of trial and error 🙃), but it’s also been one of the most rewarding leaps I’ve ever taken.

Here’s to the first year — and to the music still to come. 🎹💛
