Hi, I’m Kay!
I’m a piano teacher, composer, author, publisher, and generally a woman who tries to not take life too seriously!
I’ve been teaching over 40 years, and I’ve spent the last 4 years teaching music teachers how to thrive!. I love providing them with innovative tools that work. (I know, because I’m using all these tools, strategies, and teaching pieces right along with you!
Want an easier and more effective way to reach the young kids in your studio? Follow along. I’m here to offer you the support you need, to help your students succeed and even better, make their parents happy!
When I’m not teaching or composing, I love to read, hike, shop, and work on my junk journal.
