What a wonderful day of music at Cal State Long Beach! My students played with so much soul and intention today. They moved past the basics and shared their hearts with the audience.
I’m so grateful to work with these families and to Fresh Start Music Studio for organizing such a smooth recital at such a beautiful venue. 🎹✨
🎶🥁 A Fun Twist on Practice! 🥁🎶
Tried something new in today’s lesson. I switched out the metronome for a drum beat while Rohan played his etude… and he loved it! 😄
The groove kept the energy up and made keeping the beat feel natural and exciting. Such a simple change, but it brought the whole piece to life!
Great job, Rohan! You nailed it 🎹
Music + Literacy in Action!
My four-year-old student, Aria, is tracking the song as we sing it, using a pointer to follow along with the notes in the music. This simple activity does so much:
-it builds early reading skills
-strengthens word recognition
-develops her ear and singing voice
-develops the ability to keep a steady beat
-helps learn the direction of the notes
-helps connect sound to symbol
Learning through music is pure magic! 🎵
🎹 My wonderful student Jessica, who’s just seven, performed her piece today, and it reminded me why I teach.
It’s not about perfection or performance. It’s about those moments of quiet focus, when a child connects with the music and discovers what they can do. Watching Jessica play with such care and intention was a beautiful reminder of how music helps us grow from the inside out.
🌟 Look at little Lara go! At just 4 years old and only her second lesson, she’s already playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. 🎹✨ Her joy and excitement make teaching such a gift.
It’s amazing how quickly children can pick up music when they’re encouraged and having fun. 🎶 Every small step counts, and that enthusiasm says it all!
My six-year-old student is learning “Sailing in the Sun” and today we focused on shaping staccato and legato touch. She even sang along while playing, such a wonderful way to connect voice and instrument. I love watching her curiosity and musicality grow with each lesson.

Feeling so proud of my piano students right now! 🎹💖
This month was full of big moments — finishing Piano Adventures levels, completing RCM piano exams, and performing beautifully at our recital. I’m so impressed by all the hard work, dedication, and heart you’ve put into your music.
To celebrate, I handed out achievement pins and magnetic bookmarks, little reminders of how far you’ve come and how much more is ahead.
Seeing you grow as musicians and share your music on stage is the best part of what I do. Keep making music, keep growing and keep sharing your talent with the world.

🎹Today’s recital wasn’t just about playing the right notes.
It was about walking on stage with shaky hands and choosing to play anyway.
It was about months of quiet practice turning into a few minutes of music that filled the room.
It was about courage, patience, and discovering what you are capable of.
Proud of every single student who shared their music and themselves with all of us.
Grateful to for arranging this recital and providing my students the opportunity to perform.

What would you add?
Which one do you relate to the most?
Being human doesn’t make you less of a musician—it makes you a more authentic one.
Keep showing up, heart and all.

🎹 Story time: In my studio, I use little puffs to help students with curved and relaxed hand position at the piano. Their names are Mibbles, Dibbles, Gibbles and Bibbles (see second slide).
This week, one of my students came up with her own version— with a creative twist so she can have her little friends at home. Moments like this is such a great reminder that when children feel empowered in their learning, they naturally find creative and meaningful ways to engage.
P.S. she’s wearing a shirt that says “piano girl” 🥰
