It's never too late to begin music lessons. If you are interested in lessons for yourself, or your child, come in for a free observation!
Not all observations are run the same. How do you handle observations in YOUR studio, and do you ever change it up?
We show up with a plan. A good one! A plan steeped in thoughtful, coherent, and research based pedagogy. And then our student shows up in a chaotic, distracted, fidgety, talkative mood and somehow we never get around to the plan. I'm what instance is it beneficial to follow a student's lead, and when should we redirect?
If you couldn't attend the SAA or MTNA conferences this spring, I'm happy to share what I learned! While I definitely didn't go to everything, (or even half) I encountered some excellent thinkers and generous presenters.
Comment or message me if you want more details on specific presenters and their work.

I'm feeling so inspired after today’s Zoom meeting with the Suzuki Training Committee! What an incredible group of educators—thoughtful, creative, generous—working together to help teachers and students thrive at every level.
There are so many exciting things in motion right now:
* A pilot program to make the Unit 1 audition process more accessible
* Three new Certificates of Achievement to support teachers at all stages of their journey
* Big-picture thinking about what excellent Suzuki teaching looks like in private studios, early childhood settings, colleges, online lessons—and beyond
I’m so grateful to be part of this community—one that blends tradition and innovation, and sees growth as a joyful, lifelong pursuit.
And speaking of growth... I’ll be offering a Teaching Strategies course this spring—just one Tuesday morning a month, for four months. If you’re working toward one of the new certificates or simply want to reflect on your teaching in a supportive space, I’d love to have you.
