About	I became a Simply Music Piano teacher in 2012, after teaching traditionally for over 20 years. I love this method! It has improved my own ability to play as well as that of my students, and I love playing and teaching all the different styles of music. I also do some accompanying for choirs, co-lead the children’s music program at my church; in addition, I am the founder and teacher of an early childhood music program in my area called Music for Minors, which is modeled after Lynn Kleiner’s Music Rhapsody program, and based on the Orff Schulwerk method of teaching. My studio operates from September – July, with a break in August. I teach mainly group lessons, also a few private lessons.
