Periwinkle Music

Hi again! Sad news. My video filtered out all music thinking it was background noise (a tragedy). I hope that everyone who was there today was able to get a good video of their kiddo(s)!

Facebook has decided that only pages with at least 100 followers get to live stream now. I guess we have to find enough people to follow my page before the spring recital 😉

Hi all! I tried to live stream our recital today, and it wouldn't let me (apparently I'm not popular enough, lol!). I have a video of the whole thing that I will try to post later! So if you came to my page to watch today, I'm SO sorry!

Louisville families:

I am in need of a pianist to play my choir's accompaniments at my recital on December 14th. The music is not too terribly difficult but I am not able to play because I need to focus on the kids.

If you or anyone you know (family, friend, piano teacher, church musician, it doesn't matter!) can help a gal with poor sight reading skills, please message me!

Fall semester is starting this month and I have some openings for private lessons on Wednesdays! I have experience teaching piano to ages 5-12 and voice to ages 9-12. I am located in St Matthews just off Breckenridge. Here are the Wednesday times I have available right now:

12:00-12:30
2:30-3:00
3:00-3:30

I charge $25/30 minute lesson. I provide discounts when two siblings take lessons!

My goal is accessible music- if these times do not work, you cannot afford lessons, or you need me to come to you, please message and ask! My flexibility on travel isn't as high this year due to a busy schedule, but I can usually figure something out. If you want to know more about me and my studio, there is an introduction pinned on my page.

I have a scholarship fund that goes towards lessons and materials for families who cannot afford them. It has already covered several lessons and multiple keyboards for local families. Please donate or share if you want to support this cause!

Feel free to message my studio page or send me an email with any questions!

Hi folx!

This year, I am starting some music programs with Explorations Academy (sister of Wildflowers Academy, under Kentuckiana Homeschool). Explorations Academy is new this year and full of amazing teachers with amazing courses. I still have room in my 1-3 grade and 4-6 grade choirs! You do NOT have to attend a full day in order to participate in my choirs. Classes are each an hour long and take place weekly on Thursdays.

I will be at our open house tonight (7/18) from 6:30-7:30 to talk about my classes! Other open house dates in the near future are Tuesday 7/23 from 11am-12pm and Thursday 8/1 from 2-3pm. I hope to see some new faces!! Feel free to massage me with any questions about choir or for the location of open houses!

With love,
Ms. Caroline 🩷

Hello, all!

This Spring has thrown a lot of craziness at my household. I struggled with unknown health issues through February and March, so I chose to do something a little different for our recital this semester! Over the last couple weeks, all of my kiddos recorded recital pieces to put together into a virtual recital for you :)

I am so proud of these kids for accomplishing everything they did this semester despite me being in-and-out of lessons for two months! They are resilient- more than I deserve. So much love to all my families this year

Announcement time!!!

As my current students know, I have been teaching at Wildflowers Academy this school year. Well, we have put together something huge and exciting for the fall! Today, registration for Kentuckiana Homeschool's Explorations Academy opens to the entire local homeschool community. There are so many super cool courses being offered (some that I just wish I had access to as a kid!).

I am teaching two different choirs (1-3 grade and 4-6 grade), group ukulele (3-5), and musical theater (5-8). I have been wanting to start a local choir for a while now, but never had the space! I am attaching a registration link in the comments for anyone interested.

A few reminders:

I am always taking new piano students! Am I crazy for teaching a full day of 2nd/3rd grade, another full day of elective classes, and 17+ piano students around that? Maybe. Am I the luckiest person in the world to be doing so much music with our homeschool community? Absolutely.

I am always taking donations for the John and Sharon Snyder Scholarship Fund. Your previous donations have already provided access to lessons and materials for homeschool families. My Venmo is in a previous post if you would like to contribute!

As always, message or email me if you have any questions, and share this post if you know other homeschool families that may benefit from my (or other people's) classes this fall!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out for our little recital 🩷

Today, I shared that I am trying to start a scholarship fund for families who are not able to afford piano lessons. I am overwhelmed by the generosity I received today alone. So, I am officially announcing the John and Sharon Snyder Scholarship Fund, named after my grandparents who always worked so hard to encourage my efforts in music.

I am attaching my Venmo for those that asked for it today. Anything is appreciated to put towards accessible lessons. If you know anyone who would benefit from free or reduced lessons, please send them my way 🩷

Hi, folks! It's been a while since posting- life is crazy! A few things to share:

Our studio recital is this Saturday at 2pm ET. I hope to live stream it again, so if you have a student to watch or want to see a little bit of studio action, please tune in here!

I am a little late to getting my schedule together for next semester. If you are interested in getting started with piano or vocal lessons, please reach out and I can send out open slots once my current students are scheduled!

If anyone is interested in group ukulele classes, please let me know! I don't have one scheduled yet, but have materials and can fit one into my schedule if I have enough interest for it.

I recently moved to St Matthews. It is a much more peaceful neighborhood than the last house. I have a dedicated studio space now, too 🩷
(Also, surprise for any past students, we have two class mascots now. Clover is 8 months old and crazy. She is here with Marcy to give dog snuggles)

You can message me here or email me at [email protected] with any questions!

If you're new here, hi! My name is Caroline Snyder, and I've been teaching in Louisville since Fall of 2019. I am currently going to school for a Bachelor's in Elementary Education. My music studio became an established LLC in the state of Kentucky in 2021 (it sure doesn't feel like it's been that long!). I added group ukulele classes last year and have loved every second of it. This Spring, I led my second studio recital! If you take lessons or classes with me, you are likely to meet my two cats and two turtles and are guaranteed to be snuggled by my dog (and official studio mascot), Marcy.

I feel that it's important for families to know that I am LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent friendly. All religions, genders, sexual orientations, conditions, and disorders are welcome in my home! As someone who is neurodivergent and chronically ill, I have all sorts of tools and a world of understanding for students who struggle with health issues, ADHD, Autism, learning disabilities, or trauma. Please feel welcome to message me with any questions regarding this topic ❤️
