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

My entire family has been battling severe viruses for way too long and I missed teaching lessons and accompanying at the school the week of Valentine's Day. Had some ideas for that week for the students to work on, although it didn't happen. After returning to work this week, I've been playing "catch up". LOL. We're not 100%, yet getting there. This week I took a risk and did a "run through" of the Friska section from Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Liszt. I've had this song for

I'm so delighted when a student wants to make a YouTube video to share their progress. Check out these two awesome students who worked very hard on their selections. Adeliade has taking lessons for over a year plus and is making strides. Hope you enjoy her selection and how she introduces it. Exceptional job Adeliade. Keep playing. Aidyn is a newer student who is currently working on an arrangement of Zelda's Lullaby. Yet he's making so many incredible leaps and bounds. What

What a week and it's only Thursday with lessons. Each student is showing up with their willingness to try new Winter games, techniques, warm-ups, new music. In fact my students are teaching me new music. I told a student if I stop learning, stop taking lessons from me. Enjoy the pics and messages about each student. I'm beyond over the moon with their progress. This is Aidyn, who is working on a video game song. I'm so proud of his effort. Alyssa L really loves the song "Rewr
