Driving family members to soccer, dance, scouts, home to eat (maybe) and then homework? And that's just afterschool on an average Tuesday?!!? Yikes.
That doesn't leave time to journey to music lessons or piano classes, which have been proven to support academic literacy among many other benefits!

Check this out while you wait for the next in-and-out of the car:

Driving from dance class to soccer practice to scouts? That's just one person's Tuesday afternoon!??! How can you fit any more in?

Calling all musicians and music-makers:

~Have you ever felt confused or feel like you just "don't get it" when you look at printed music.

~Do you wish you could play or sing more spontaneously AND have it sound good, but don't know where to start?

~Do you want to learn more about MUSIC, besides just how to play an instrument or sing?

I'VE GOT YOU COVERED and I just couldn't wait any longer to share what I'm planning for YOU!!!!!

This summer is your chance to experiment and build with the basic rudiments of Music. Imagine YOU creating and "music-ing" like never before!

I'll be posting specific details shortly regarding class times, materials needed and cost.

Best of all, it can be done live, with me, from the comfort of your own home in our virtual classrooms! Stay alert for more in the next week or so!

Spring is a time of new life springing up from the earth. There's a return of migratory flocks, and the cold of winter becomes a distant memory. Alas, spring allergies may take the place of biting cold temperatures.

Many of my students have appreciated the option to attend virtual classes when the weather is unfriendly, the pollen is too plentiful or the sports schedule squeezes out travel time to class in the studio.

It's spring time for me, too. Lots of new things springing! A bit of migration, too! SO.....

I am now accepting new students for summer and spring in the VIRTUAL classroom, as I prepare to MIGRATE!

Call or text now to schedule a complementary (and virtual) Meet n' Greet from the comfort of your own familiar environment. I'd like to reserve the best time for YOU to explore music together.

Are YOU ready for Springtime? I am. Share your favorite parts of spring below and we'll start our Springtime collaborative composition.
Part 2 will drop next week so be sure to come back to see what's next!

Current students: Remember to make music at every opportunity!
Everybody else - I'd love to share some quick ideas so you can make music too. We are made for making music in one form or another. Comment in the post if you need some quick ideas for piano/keyboard music-making. You don't know what you're capable of until you start to experiment and play with sounds. Just do it...

Hi! I know it's been a bit since last posting. Life is crazy for all of us so I'm not going to give excuses. Classes ARE going forward in the studio and there are some exciting updates coming. Just gotta get ahead of the schedule first. I have been making time for family things and it has been a good thing! Soon it will be time to make music with YOU, too!

In the meantime, if you want to schedule a personal Meet-n-Greet to get a complementary introduction to the studio, please call or text. There is no obligation and the only cost is your time.

On the horizon is summertime "Blast Off" mini-camps to introduce students to piano. We had such a "blast" last summer! Just ask those who kept on learning through this school year. Dates to come, but they will be after June 10th.

Hi and Merry Christmas to all you Music-Makers and future musicians! Stay tuned for winter class schedules coming soon.

There may be slight delayed in restarting after the New Year's holiday. Your teacher appreciates the extra time to be with her family.
.. but HAVE NO FEAR, class time will soon be here! In the meantime - try this fun improvisation:

1. Select your favorite Christmas time tune words
2. Put 5 fingers (one- or two-handed, your choice) over 5 neighboring black keys.
3. Speak the words to the tune in the same speed (rhythm) you would sing it
4. At that same time, play a black key for each syllable: you can repeat keys, move to a new key next to the previous one or skipping around. It's alright if your pattern starts to change, as long as you like it and it sounds Christmas-y
5. Graduate by moving to other black keys and experimenting with the right pedal (damper) or sustain pedal (keyboard) and other sound patches, if your instrument has them.

~Don't go too fast. Enjoy and share!

"I wish I created more music this summer!" Did you say that, or even, just think it now?

It's been a great season with beginning piano summer classes and solo lessons. We have learned about piano key names, feeling the beat of a song, exploring how amazing the black keys sound when used to create songs - who knew you don't have to READ music to invent your own, satisfying, fun, sounds? We did!

Good news - you haven't missed your chance. Classes are starting again in September for Beginners (K-1, grades 2-5, 6-8, and of course older beginners). There are a few spaces open in each group.
