Kaya has been extra consistent with her practice time this month. As a result of that, I'm seeing and hearing such a massive improvement with her playing and I can also feel that she's becoming more confident in her skills! She also submitted her own original composition at a local song writing competition and it got picked to compete at the State Level!
Keep going Kaya!
Practice makes progress!

Stepping up at School
through Music!
I am beyond proud of these 2 students who have each stepped up their performance game by putting their piano playing to the test!!!
Regan submitted a piano video and was qualified to go into the final round of a talent competition at her school. Savannah is currently preparing a blues medley to present at a performance test for a music scholarship. In my eye, they are both winners already! Just the act of going for it (I didn’t ask them to do this…this was all their idea) and conquering any fear that may come from doing something they’ve never done before is already a WIN!!! Congratulations Regan and Savannah! I’m so proud of both of you.

Let’s get to know PIER!!
Pier!
Being a piano teacher is not a once-a-week job! I'm constantly checking everyone's recordings throughout the week and doing my best to be available to give feedback and help. So, when a parent does their best with helping their kids practice, the class tend to run smoother, making my job easy! đŸ™‚ Thankful for Pier for being consistent with helping Liam practice! I've seen tremendous improvement in his playing!
Let’s get to know PIER!!
Favorite part about being a mom?
"Hugs & kisses before bed. Knowing that after a long hard day, I have a sweet boy to make it all worth it. "
Favorite part about helping Liam with his piano practice?
Witnessing his progress from day one. I know he loves going to class to learn, so I want to be able to support him outside of it.
How has learning piano contributed to Liam's well being as he's growing up?
Learning piano has been helping Liam to be more confident.
What do you like to do for fun ("me time")?
"Exploring new places and eating good food makes me happy."
