My student Emma could have just taken it easy after audition season and winning the Sterling Scholars scholarship award this year, but instead she performed a senior recital before heading to college!

Her harp program:
🎵 Le Jardin Mouillé, by Jacques de la Presle
🎼 First Arabesque, by Debussy
🎶 The Swan, transcription by Salzedo, with her brother on the cello
✨ Colorado Trail, by Grandjany

She also performed a piano program that included a Beethoven Sonata, Rachmaninov Prelude, and a character piece by Grieg.

I’m extraordinarily proud of my student Emma, who is going to Utah State University 👩‍🎓 in a few weeks as a harp performance and music therapy double major!

💪🏻 Emma has worked her tail off during the 7.5 years I have taught her. She has won competitions, scholarship auditions, and given solo recitals. She even played a concerto with orchestra!

This is a clip I recorded from today’s lesson of Emma playing Marcel Grandjany’s “Colorado Trail.” 🎶 Loving her clarity, dynamics, and phrasing.

My cat Bastet and dog Scarlett are big fans of my student ! They can tell that she loves animals 💜.•••

I am extraordinarily proud of Jordyn! Just listen to her dramatic dynamics and look at that technique ✨

Jordyn is working from My First Piano Adventures and is learning to read staff notation. And she has been practicing diligently at home! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This student loves animals, and clearly they love her! Can you spot the cat hiding near the top of the pic?

I did a hard thing today!

I recorded the entire Rameau harpsichord suite that I have transcribed for harp. The score is 72 pages long and is the most difficult thing I’ve ever played. This photo is a screenshot from the video.

I just have a live presentation and one more recital to finish my Doctor of Music degree. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 that everything gets approved!

I taught a harp and a piano lesson this morning, but my cutest little student is definitely this 🐞 Katerina bug.

She likes to play the “C song” (playing all the red strings), the “F song” (all the navy blue strings), the “white string song” (all the other strings), and “Butterfly” from “Tales of a Musical Journey” by Irina Gorin.

As a millennial mom, wife, and Twilight fan, Kristie's Music Studio continues to soothe and enrich the lives of children in her community.

Kristie gives back by donating time and customized piano and harp lessons.

When she's not teaching or playing her harp at events, you can find her at home with her husband, kids, three cats, and a dog that looks like Lassie. Teaching and music are her life, but she also enjoys reading and an occasional workout.

We can't do what we do without teaming up with businesses like Kristie's Music Studio. We need businesses that are ready to build their communities with us.
