I have a couple Wednesday slots still available if you’re interested. Just shoot me an email! If I don’t hear from you in the next couple weeks, I’ll open those spots up to new students. Friday students, just a heads up. As a half time employee at Sage, there are some teacher work day Fridays I have to attend throughout the year. I’m taking care of several of these in August and June, but there will be a handful of times during the school year when I’ll need to be at work on Friday. I’m waiting on my principal for those exact dates. In...

2025-2026 Studio Annoucements

  Hello, Piano and Voice Students! I recently accepted a job offer to teach music half time at Sage elementary school, in addition to conducting two community choirs through BOCES. These employment changes will affect my studio schedule in the fall. I am going to take August off to prepare for my job at Sage, and then I will continue my studio at a reduced size starting in September.  For students who wish to continue with me for the 2025-2026 school year, I will teach the following hours: Mondays: 4:00 - 6:00 pm Wednesdays: 4:00 - 6:00 pm Fridays: 8:30 - 10:30 am and 2:00-4:00 pm Please review my studio policies  here  on my new website.

Upcoming Events in March and April

  Hello, Piano Families! I have a couple absences coming up that I need to alert you about. Some of them won’t affect you, depending on when your child has a lesson. Spring break is coming up from March 17-21. I don’t teach at all that week. Happy spring break to everyone! My family will be out of town the Thursday and Friday before spring break (March 13-14). Rather than trying to make up all those lessons, I will be discounting March tuition to account for that absence. If you are a Thursday or Friday student, you will pay $60 (for the 30 minute students) or $75 (for the 45 minute students) for March. Additionally, my mom is getting a knee replacement and I am going to California to help her during the first weekend in April. Unfortunately, this means I will miss another Thursday and Friday (April 3-4). Because it’s so close to Area Achievement, I will offer three makeup times to any students who don’t want to miss that lesson on Saturday March 29 all day or April 1-2 from 6:00-...
