thank you's and congrats!

Today I am struck by a thankfulness for all of those that have been involved in helping Lozier Music move forward in our rapid growth!

I'm excited for Rachel in the growth of her family and new baby boy, Roanin, last week Friday. While she's away on maternity leave I've reminded how grateful I am of her committment to teaching and Lozier Music. Personally I'm thankful for her friendship, support and consistency. I'm amazed at the growth of her students as I teach some of them in her absence. I am blessed to learn from her in many ways!

I'm thankful for my husband and business partner, Jacob, as he takes on more pieces of the studio's management as well as challenge me to have integrity, follow through and consistency in every aspect of my life. It's amazing what he has taken on with a full time job, watching our children while I'm teaching 5 days a week and keeping up with the business side of Lozier Music.

Our office staff is also to be commended. Julia has been with us since we opened and has shown an amazing flexibility, committment and coachability. While we've put together more than one system of 'doing office work' she's continued to work through and learn them. Thank you to her for bringing on her brother, John, as the 2nd office staff. John brings his playfulness to the studio as well. He commented to me once that he just enjoyed being at hthe studio so much he ended up staying late often!

Angela has shown an incredible talent in her piano teaching. She's one of the most talented students I've taught and is also a fabulous teacher. Her positive and winning smile, calmness and sweet nature has helped focus her students to learn.

Renee makes me smile when I hear her teaching Playful Piano, drums and piano. She told me a month ago, I own Playful Piano now! She does... her students laugh, play and learn with her. Her drums students LOVE it! Her piano students are loving her as well. She brings an incredible talent and is one of the small handful of people that I know that has perfect pitch.

Chris is our newest member and is a committed guitar teacher. I love how he walks around the studio with his electric guitar strapped on like it belongs there. He is willing to go the extra mile and has composed several songs as well as plays out with a band regularly.

James's students love learning guitar with him. He has a couple students with special needs that have found he is particularly patient and kind with. Parents have raved about his teaching style.

I'm also thankful for our students and parents. Many parents have been especially flexible the last few months, many long-term families have been so supportive of our growth and excited for us... many new families have become just that.. part of our Lozier Music 'family'!

As we grow from 120-200 by March... I seek to continue to committ to creating a family environment at Lozier Music, complete with excellent costomer service, fabulous teaching and growth for all!
