new pictures coming soon.

but until then just a quick update on what's new.

so summer is slow coming it feels like (it's freezing - for june - outside)

but...
i'm just getting over the worst cold i've had in a long time so starring at a computer screen just didn't sound so wonderful to me since i woke up and went to bed with a headache 3 days in a row. but i'm all better now. at least mostly, the headaches gone.

for all my wonderful friends who went to my tumbling classes the last couple of months i'd like to say thank you and i'm sorry. i'm sorry that community center was so lame and didn't do anything they said they would (like buy supplies for me to use) needless to say i won't be going back there. i loved your kids and anytime you want to get together and do some body rock, freeze song, or sing sammy just give me a call.

new things that just came up...
i've gotten a couple of calls the last couple days for piano lessons. i haven't taught since ashleigh was born because i had ashleigh and she's a pill. but i'm giving it a go. so i have 4 student already if anyone else is interested (i won't take more than 10) but i'd love to teach a couple of more.

here's the info
$30.00 a month
30 minute lessons 1 day a week

please, please, please...if you're interested know this.
1. students NEED to practice 30 mintues at least 5 days a week or else it really doesn't stick and they don't learn so much so fast
2. you need to have something to practice on (piano, keyboard - it doesn't matter)
3. 5 years and up (when they're starting to read) you know where your kid is at and if they are ready or interested in piano lessons.

my son is 4 and i'm thinking about starting to introduce him to the piano and sheet music (he already pretends like he can read music and tries counting. plus he can recognize all his letters and numbers) but we'll see how it goes if it's too much of a battle i'll wait a little longer. i just want him to bang around on the piano with some rythm to it (i'm not going to push him to really learn songs or anything). just understand fast/slow, high/low, long note/short note. very basic stuff.

so if you're interested in lessons or may be in a couple of months send me an email or call.
