Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!  I truly am thankful for so much in my life.  I am thankful for the gift of music that I was given by my parents and grandparents 34 years ago.  I am thankful for the lessons music has taught me, for the people it has helped me meet and for the career that it has provided me.  Even though I am thankful for music, in the recent years, I do not play the piano on Thanksgiving  I typically spend the day with my family and enjoying being in the moment with them. 

Happy Chanukah

Happy Chanukah to all of our friends and families who will be celebrating today and the coming days!

The Roland Digital Piano

This is a major honor and privilege for our students!  The local Steinway & Roland dealer will provide us with this instrument.

I cannot wait to start working on it for lessons!  We will be able to play interactive note reading and rhythm games, record our pieces, add sounds and features and save it all onto portable flash drives!  Students will be able to take their recorded works home with them!

I need to rearrange furniture because our studio will have three pianos in after tomorrow!

When Bridget is not playing the piano, she enjoys swimming, gymnastics, and playing with her friends.

Congratulations Bridget!
