Amy Riggs's Piano Studio

When Wilbur the pig comes to piano lessons, you fully embrace his supervision of the games. 🐷

We ended this lesson matching notes and rests with their rhythm values. This flower and pot matching game has been a hit through the Spring and Summer, with several versions of the game. Not only have we matched notes and rests to their values, but we’ve also reviewed finger numbers, letters and keys, and steps and skips. 🌸🎹

The full game bundle is now available on my TPT store:

Hey friends! 👋 For those who are new here, let me introduce myself, and for those who have been around for while maybe you’ll learn something new about me!

Hi, I’m Amy! My passion for making and sharing music began as a child, and I love bringing that to life in my studio and beyond! I believe music is something to be enjoyed on a personal level and shared with others. 🎵🎹

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Piano Performance from Mississippi State University, and while piano is my primary instrument, I also dabble in guitar, ukulele, mandolin, and bass, and enjoy singing whenever life allows! 🎸🎶

When I am not teaching at home or with my Kindermusik w/Musik Adventures preschool friends, you maybe find me embracing what the kids call my “grandma hobbies”—gardening, baking, keeping my sourdough starter alive, and crafting of all sorts. I also love a good thrift store or garage sale haul! 🪴🍪🥖🧵

Above all, I’m someone who loves her people and her pets. Whether it’s hosting get-togethers or just spending quality time with family, friends, and fur babies, community and belonging mixed with a lot of creativity is at the heart of everything I do. I’m so glad you’re here — can’t wait to share this space with you! 🎶✨

After learning the C five finger scale on the staff yesterday, our magnetic people were strategically balanced on one limb as we found the same steps on the magnetic board. 🎼 🤸‍♀️

Also pictured…Booger the cat…resident supervisor of all things piano. Sure to be found in my lap or sitting next to the kiddos. 🎶 😻🎹

Today was Rivers’s first piano lesson! 🎹

She practiced the “I’m great pose” to learn great piano posture and even took it to the next level by balancing a stuffy on her head. 🐸

Safe to say she absolutely nailed it. 🎶
