I am SO thrilled to be starting up my music studio again!  After several moves, enjoying life with my 2-year-old, and gearing up for baby number 2 come summer, it is now time to pursue my love of teaching!

I have sorely missed teaching- voice, piano, even theory!  It's amazing, though, how much more I realize my love of this venture; to have gone without for so long (almost 3 and a half years!) I see so much clearly how much my heart truly is wrapped in teaching.

I am most excited about taking on beginning students.  It is such a thrill to see those musical light bulbs go on for the first time... and seeing their faces light up- whether they're 4 or 40- when a concept is presented in such a way that IT MAKES SENSE!  Oh!  I just love it!  If I had my way, I would take only only beginning students.  I love working with more advanced musicians, but there's something about taking a student from the very beginning and forming them with the correct musical foundation to send them into the wide world of 'other teachers'... 

Which is one thing I'd better get figured out soon.  I have yet to meet many of my fellow teachers in the area as of yet.  When it comes time to 'graduate' any of my students I want to make sure that I sincerely trust the teacher I'll be passing them on to.  I want the transition to be as smooth and natural (and wonderful an experience) as possible.

But I'm not there yet.  With only a few slots filled in my studio thus far I'm busy planning our Fall recital!  And that's as far as I need to be planning so far.
