changes

Change to me is a sign of growth! And necessary for growth!
Each year I seek to improve my studio and my own teaching and musicianship. Small, consistent steps and goals bring the best results.

In September, I'll be adding a new teacher to the mix which is a change for me who usually does everything myself. It'll be a mix of letting go and learning to lead!
In September I'll be moving students to larger shared lessons up to 5. This is creating some apprehension for some students and rightly so till they experience it! All of the best teachers are teaching in larger shared lessons and I want to be one of those most successful teachers!
In Septemeber the studio will be at 60-70 students including Playful Piano students. That's also a first for me! Last year in Septemember I was at about 40 students.

Early next year we'll be opening a new commercial space and that'll be a big huge change! It's amazingly exciting and scary! Working with hubby Jacob as a business partner is a small change as well. Hiring a marketting consultant, doing a business plan, getting a loan, applying for a grant, signing a lease agreement.. all new things for me!

Goal is in January to start with 100 Simply Music students and 30 other instrument students! That's a big goal and a big change!

I can only say that through the Teaching from the Future Coaching calls through Simply Music every facet of my life is changed! I am truly a different person than I was last year. Relying on God to help facilitate growth and to be open to growth has been amazing. Making the time to get up very early in the morning for Bible/prayer time, then practicing/composing, then exercising and eating has allowed for my intrity and priorities to be in tact!
