Since I can remember, my mom and I would "speed walk" while we lived in Andover, Kansas, either in late Middle or High School. I've always enjoyed walking in most weathers, as it builds endurance and physical strength. Yet for me, it's really helped with focus at times when I feel "stuck", "uncertain", "frustrated". If it's a walk around the block, do an almost 2 mile walk in the neighborhood, walking around the zoo, nature parks, when I return I'm experiencing a good tired a

Hope you enjoy this piano solo and have a Blessed Easter. Thanks for your support. Blessings.

For many years as a theater educator, I've been looking for costumes that will work for Theater Summer Camps. Just wanted to share about some places I've found out about that have helped my business when looking for costume options that are local. Yes the businesses have other items, yet we're going to focus on costumes here. I found out about a small business originally located in the Kansas City area called A to Z Theatericals, yet has a small store in Wichita located at 12

Last week I inquired if this website could share about my upcoming Summer Music Theater Camps and Landon the creator of update@wichitalifeict.com blew me away this morning with the words and was able to speak to a potential parent about acting lessons later in the morning. Thanks. Wichita Life shared these kind words about my studio. I'm overwhelmed in the best way. The studio is designed for all ages: kids to adults. Thanks for your support. Blessings.

I'm so excited to share my first video attempt of "Spring" by Felix Mendelssohn with tons of mistakes and errors. Yet I'm so blessed to try this song. What are you working on that's just a beautiful selection worth playing? Would like to know. Thanks for your support. Blessings.

On Monday I did a St Patrick's Day Piano Group Class and the students who attended played tons of rhythm, a composing activity and they learned a short portion of a song arranged by Jennifer Eklund from pianopronto.com called "The Irish Washerwoman". We all learned one line of the song and made it into a quartet. They literally sight-read a piece of music and made a video. I'm so proud of them. Keep trying. Then this afternoon, two of my piano students who have never met lea

Last week I had two students who were able to make videos of music they are currently working. Hope you enjoy their progress. I'm so proud of my students and their efforts to try new concepts and share what they are learning with others. Brings joy to my heart. Here is Reina, one of my vocal students singing Home. So proud of her willingness to create a video. Takes so much courage. Keep singing Reina. This is a new piano student Eleanor, as we're working on black key notes.

I will be honest, I still have a long way to go, yet I'm trying. I'm being very vulnerable, which I need to be. What are you doing that's bigger than yourself? Would like to know. Thanks for your support. Blessings.

The term underserved privilieges has been mentioned for several months and I've been able to reflect on these words more than ever. I've heard this term growing up and even as a business owner. Yet today I pondered on these words and the past opportunities presented, especially as a solo-prepriotore. It's very humbling. Over the 15 plus years of teaching through the studio, I've been blessed to "step" on the grounds of our local Air Force Base to play for an awards event, acc

First of all, I'm not here to talk bad about Basketball, yet while watching a Celtics and Lakers game, I was not amused by the Lakers'"behaviors" of disrespecting the referees. Several of the giantic players we "approaching the referees", tattling on the Celtics. Now when I was watching, they were down by a lot of point and they were "heated". The referees were "taking the heated discussions" by being respectful, while the players were "fighting" those in charge, acting a bit
