Welcome!
This is an internally-focused page for my piano parents and adult students. Even if you’re not one of those, you’re still welcome here. You might find more helpful information on my Piano Lessons page.
MyMusicStaff Access
If you are booking lessons through MyMusicStaff, and are looking for slots to book, please make sure to look at the little icon to tell whether it’s an in-person (church) or online (camera) lesson. When you click on each slot, there will be a location that confirms where the lesson will be held.
Most lessons are in-person, and that location is typically in Rogers at Central Methodist. However, I do have plans to accept students at First Methodist in Bella Vista, where I work two days per week. If you’re looking for an online slot, I can teach that from either of those places and also from home at other hours.
Policy – Program Year 2021-2022
For the new program year, I will ask you to fill out a simple Google doc to confirm that you have 1) received the updated policy plus 2) give you a chance to opt-out of the implied Website and Social Media Consent. This will be done at the beginning of each new program year going forward.
- Please contact me to receive previous versions of the studio policy.
Classic Practice Corner Posts
I’ve done major rework on my Practice Corner posts so that they now form my core of advice to new piano parents. I invite you to take a look as well; it’s been a labor of (mostly) love! I hope it proves useful to everyone in the studio!
