The Piano Teacher Toolbox

Welcome

When I began teaching piano 12+ years ago, I was inspired by a few outstanding blogs that not only provided resources but also gave a glimpse inside their studios.  In such a solitary environment as piano teaching, blogs provide a connection that can keep us going.  

 

A little about me….I have a full-time piano studio in central Mississippi, spend time gardening and hiking, absolutely adore cats, and have a serious canva addiction.

What sets me apart from other teachers?  I double majored in economics and  finance and have an MBA, so I LOVE talking business.  So this little blog will be a catch-all of studio resources, business talk, and a few cat pictures.
