Piano lessons

I have starting teaching piano lessons! So far, I have 6 students. Four come on Friday afternoon (since I don't tutor on Fridays, I can be home by 3:30pm), and two on Saturday morning. I am so excited to dive into the same piano series I used while learning the piano.

I took piano lessons for only 2 years; grades 2-4. But, b/c my mom had a piano, I was able to plunk down some notes and continued to play hymns for early morning seminary throughout high school.

I definitely wouldn't consider myself advanced, or a prodigy child. But, I can read music at an intermediate level, and feel confident in my teaching abilities for a beginner student.

It's a great match. I love teaching. I love piano. I love young students. Perfect!

Here are pics from the night be bought the piano off of Craigslist. A Baldwin upright for $550. not bad. Tim and Jared brought it in and Austin and I took our first pics. I look forward to re-decorating my piano room with fun accent colors.

I hope you have fun with it! I took piano for TEN years, but I for sure don't feel brave enough to teach it! You ROCK! :)

For some reason I thought you had a baby grand that you bought from Direct Buy?

Seriously? Because you have so much spare time? You have so much more energy than I do. That's awsome!
