What a blessing teaching has been this year. Thanks for your support. Blessings.

What an incredible Christmas Event this 2025, as my students sang together three group songs, each vocalist had a solo, the piano students did duets, trios and quartets and all while we did our first ever YouTube Live. This opportunity was brought about by hours of work to identify how to make the Studio Event Live. Thanks to Tim and Josaih for their incredible advocacy with the YouTube Live. You're a blessing to have in my life. I learned so much through this event and the

For several months I've created practice YouTubes of music I'm trying to work on. Hope you enjoy these videos. With all the upcoming Christmas Concerts for the schools I accompany for and a studio event, I'm still trying to learn other music. These videos are filled with errors and are not perfect, yet I'm trying to learn new music. I've been working on this for many years and finally took a risk. Hopefully this will be the Christmas song I'll share for this year. What are yo

Christmas music is definitely my favorite. The joy of the season is contagious to me. I love listening to Christmas music a bit too much. Wanted to take a moment to share some newer YouTubes that I'm excited about during the Christmas season. Hope you feel the energy of Christmas and enjoy these newer selections for me to perform. This is a new song created by Chrissy Ricker, from pianopronto.com , called Sleep in Heavenly Peace, a combination of Silent Night and Mozart's Son

Last week was amazing with the students preparing for the upcoming Studio Event called An Ornamental Christmas. On Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, I had a chance to do a piano and vocal group class and everyone had a blast. The piano students did a piano quartet of an arrangement I created of Deck the Halls. Each student had a specific section that they played as a solo, yet their faces were beaming with pride as they created a video of the song. I'm so proud of them.

I'm so blessed beyond imagination to celebrate Small Business Saturday through my studio Potentials Music with 14 years of service. Thank you is just the beginning. I wish I could say more, yet thanks for believing and participating in a small business. If you or you know of anyone who is interested in voice, piano and acting lessons, please reach out to me. I would love to know how I can serve you, your family and your business to fulfill your ultimate potential. Hope you ge

Just wanted to take a moment to say thank you. You're a blessing to the family and me. We're filled with gratitude for your support this year, plus past years. Truly hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving, celebrating with family and friends. May this and others be some of the best Thanksgivings to all. Here is a YouTube of a piano solo of "Great is Thy Faithfulness", by William M. Runyan, arranged by Lily Topolski, as we delight in the gifts the Lord has blessed us with each

Last week I had a theme in my head and was able to write out the ideas as quickly as I could. This short piano solo incorporates staccatos, swing and a tremolo of a C7 chord at the end of the solo. The theme is light, fun and filled with Jazz, as you can picture the Elves dancing. The vast majority of each measure has a Half Rest in beats 3 and 4 in the Treble Clef. The Bass Clef consists of I and V chords in the key of C Major. The mf expresses the joy and mood of the Elves

When I first started teaching, I was working for a company called TakeLessons,in California, that went out of business last year. They provided teachers with students, whether in person or online. One of the students who took one lesson with me was auditioning for a music theater opportunity in Wichita. The young lady was eagerly excited about the opportunity to audition, hoping for a "glamorous role". The new student was "tone deaf", putting it kindly, yet my words were some

November 14th and 15th was the performance of Matilda Jr, that I was blessed to accompany and choreography three of the songs: School Song, Bruce Part 1 and Revolting Children. I'm beyond grateful to serve the staff and students. The video started a bit later into the show, yet I hope you enjoy the portion available. What an incredible opportunity each student put into the show. This was a show that the Drama, Music, Art Teacher or I really didn't know well. Yet to be honest,
