Hi students and parents,
Just a reminder that lesson fees are due for the following month by the last lesson of each month.
This ensures your lesson time is locked in for the following month and makes me not have to chase you up with an extra fee for late payment!

… and I’ll be back to share my love of music with you very soon!
I am taking on new students, so if you are thinking of learning an instrument yourself or wishing your child could do so, please fill out the contact form and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
If you’re an adult who is wanting to learn music and are trying to summon the courage to contact me, break through that fear barrier! I have a lot of adult students who are pursuing music later in life, so take the leap and just ask me about my available sessions and price. Plus, I also offer a string ensemble made up entirely of my adult students. It’s super fun, and you’ll be playing with us in no time!
Here’s a quick checklist for returning students:
Lessons start back the week of July 31.
I am so looking forward to seeing you 🙂

I came across this article, recently, and thought it was worth sharing. :
Here’s Proof That Music Can Do More Than Just Make You Feel Good
“Levitin explained that the field of neuroscience has identified two primary modes of brain operation: Either you’re paying attention to something very closely and you’re deeply engaged in a task, or you’re in “mind-wandering mode,” which involves daydreaming and flitting from thought to thought. As Levitin put it, “It’s a flood of different thoughts that feel unconnected and loose.”
“It’s in this mode where almost all of our creativity happens, and where we’re able to come up with innovative solutions to problems.”
Of course it does! 🙂

Just wanted to wish all of my students and their families everyone a very happy holiday season.
It has been a pleasure teaching you this year. It’s so encouraging to see you learn and grow as a musician. I hope you play some of the festive songs we’ve been working on for the past month for your families: I am sure they’ll love it!
Happy holidays and I will see you in the new year!

It’s the little things that make my life as a music teacher so enriching. Take this card, for example.
One of my very young students wrote me a thank you note for teaching her this year. How could it not warm your heart, looking at how studied and hard she tried to make it perfect! Lovely!
Her parents wrote me a note on the other side. I asked them if it would be alright to share their kind words, and they agreed.
Dear Belinda,
I cannot thank you enough for being the perfect music teacher for our very distractible child. Your energy has allowed her to blossom musically just at the exact rate she needed in order for her to love what she has learned.
Thank you, thank you!
Sincerely,
Pari and Javier
A very big hug and thank you right back to Heleyna, Pari and Javier! It’s been a pleasure and I look forward to continuing to see Heleyna grow as a musician.
