Waking Up Sleeping Beauty

Sarah, an adult piano student, before playing Sleeping Beauty Waltz informed me that Sleeping Beauty woke up a couple of times this week during her practice.  My students are just toooo funny!

Rewards of Piano Teaching

Piano teaching can be so fun and rewarding a lot of the time.  This week an adult student before playing Persian Market said, "This was fun. I enjoyed doing this one."  I love those comments.  I feel like I'm achieving my goal of making music at the piano fun and enjoyable for my students.  I feel it should be a time to express themselves in music.  What a joy!
