My Piano Genealogy

In lieu of the retirement of my great instructor of 9 years, I thought I'd post

"My Piano Genealogy"

that he gave me once. It's really pretty amazing to see how the music teaching has passed down through some pretty big wigs (pun intended ;). See how many names you recognize. When I've taught you, you add your name to the list! This reminds me there's a lot to live up to and be grateful for.

New Classes Starting!

I'm starting a new Hymns Only class for beginners! NO prior piano experience required. Check the "Hymns Only" post below for information on class. I teach hymns from an innovative new angle that makes them much more accessible. I also have 2 openings in my accelerated class (for people who have taken 3ish years of piano or more).

I just started these classes in November and it has been so exciting to see it work! I would love to help you learn to play the hymns. Come play with us!
