OnLine Piano Lessons

A couple of years ago, I started teaching a few lessons on Skype. For those of you who don’t know what Skype is, it’s another way to chat online, but it’s coolest feature is the video phone call. At first it was just an experiment, with the bonus of getting to keep in touch with some of my more advanced students through weekly and semi-weekly lessons. I got to keep an eye on how they progressed in the world and in music. I love that the internet makes this a possibility!

Well, it turns out that Skype lessons work really well! There are a few requirements including a high speed internet connection and either a laptop or a computer with a moveable camera, so I can see your fingers on the keyboard. There’s also age requirement, let’s say 15 and younger need to have special permission.

I’m currently accepting piano and composition students on Skype and would love to talk with you about the possibility!

These Things I Remember

The holidays are done and the new year has begun! I’ve been in a self-imposed exile for this first week of 2011, reflecting, resting and writing. I want to share a live recording of the holiday song that I wrote this season. I hope you enjoy it!

These Things I Remember

Each and Every December.

Laughter, Joy and Loved one’s near,

strengthen me through the year.

Taxi Road Rally 2010

And it went on and on… I loved every minute of the Road Rally this year! I saw old friends from years past and made a pile of new ones. I learned new things and was reminded of good ideas to implement. An amazing cast of incredible teachers and advocates including, Debra Russell, Ariel Hyatt, Steven Memel, Bob Baker, John Braheny, and of course Michael Laskow, our fearless leader!

The rally ended on Sunday night (or Monday morning depending how you look at it), but there were a several of us who just couldn’t let it be finished. We got together for a walk on the beach and hooked up for drinks late in the evening dragging it out into a-whole-nother day and into the night. As our numbers dwindled and the bar was closed down one last time our spirits started realizing that, yes, this had to end…

Goodbye, Taxi Road Rally! See you next year! XOXOXO!!!
