Happy World Laughter Day! This might be my favorite picture from the entire semester. She's working hard on those finger skills — and apparently also on her spring fashion. Young musicians remind me every single day that learning can be joyful, silly, and serious all at the same time. I wouldn't trade this for anything.

JPS Families it's time to "Spring Into Performance"
Every student will have the chance to perform their COMTA Festival, State Auditions, OR Recital piece — because YOU have worked SO hard this year and you deserve a moment to shine!
BUT WAIT... there's more! 👀
A brand new studio character is making his DEBUT to help us finish the year strong... and let's just say he's been quietly hanging out in the studio for a few months now. 🤫 Can you guess what animal he is?! Drop your guesses in the comments below! ⬇️👇
A HUGE heartfelt thank you to Spring Creek Baptist Church for opening your doors and hosting us once again — we are so grateful for you!
Let's spring into it, everyone! 🌷🎹🎵

We’re back! 🎹✨
Johansen Piano Studio is officially open this week as we jump into full performance season mode! This month is packed with purpose—group classes, weekly lessons, and lots of focused preparation as we get ready for Festival, State Auditions, and our Spring Honors Recital.
It’s a busy season, but one filled with growth, confidence, and beautiful music in the making. Let’s lean in, stay consistent, and give it our best—because we can do this! 💪🎶

Writing in the counting can be tricky—but here’s a fun and fast trick! 🎵
Just circle the note or group of notes that equal one beat.
It’s an easy way to check that every measure has the right number of beats and spot what might be missing at a glance! 👀✨
