About	I am a Simply Music student turned teacher. Before I took piano lessons, I spent years sort of teaching myself to play. When my children started with Simply Music lessons, I was thrilled to learn right along with them. I fell in love with the program and started teaching the method myself in 2021. The variety and depth of musical expression taught in such a simple way is awesome. I teach on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in my home with daytime spots available for adults or homeschoolers. I offer both group lessons or private sessions (groups are more fun!). If you are ready to start a new musical journey, or pick up where you left off with another teacher, come play with us!
