To say the Fall 2020 Semester has been an adventure is to put it mildly. The ups and downs of on-line versus in-person piano lessons as well as which schools are teaching which way any given week has been a challenge for the most careful of planners. I am proud of the way my students have handled the Studio's scheduling challenges so far. Now I have to throw another hiccup in our scheduling. I am having foot surgery October 6th; I will not teach for two weeks to allow for some recovery time. I will resume teaching the week of October 19th but only on-line. I hope to start teaching in-person the week after Thanksgiving. If we still have to follow Covid-19 protocols then I will resume Block Week scheduling.
Please see the updated Calendar-At-A-Glance here.
Fall Semester 2020/Covid-19
The below has been updated to accommodate the new schedule.
NAMTA Fall Festival
Yes, we are having Fall Festival this year! On-line--of course. I regret that we will not be able to hold our event in person at the University of Oklahoma but am glad NAMTA has been able to find a way to keep the tradition going. The date is Halloween--October 31st. Actually this is the date the adjudicators will receive students' uploaded videos. For more details, click this link.
Students Participating 2020 Fall Festival:
Elise Buyten Anni Lantagne
Jonah Buyten Elise Lantagne
Dylan Byrum Preston McConnell
Emma Clouston Vivian McNeely
Will Ingels Caroline Pierson
Eli Ishii McKenna Stehr
Ella Ishii Noah Schill
Leyton Kyle Emma Tyler
Isabella Wilson
Pullin Piano Studio Music Library Box
This is a plastic file box that is on the front porch swing that will hold music and other items as necessary for studio members to pick up while I am "in quarantine" after surgery. If you are expecting to pick something up and the box is not on the porch swing, please text or call me; sometimes it gets picked up by one of the grandkids and brought inside or I just forget to put it out (like on Sundays). Once Fall Festival is over, we will start Christmas music--which will be passed out through the Library Box.

Fall Semester 2020/Covid-19
The below has been updated to accommodate the new schedule.
- The Studio will be on-line only from October 19th until the Thanksgiving Break.
- Students should be ready at the piano with all materials necessary for his/her lesson 2 minutes before lesson start time.
- If the lesson is by Face-Time, please wait for me to call you. If the lesson is by Zoom, you may log in 5 minutes prior to wait for me to open your lesson "meeting".
- Students will have in-person private lessons at the Studio one week; the next week, his/her lesson will be on-line by Face Time or Zoom.
- If, after the Thanksgiving break, we still need to follow Covid-19 protocols, I will resume the original Block Week Schedule as outlined below.
- The daily schedule of private lessons will alternate between in-person and on-line so there will not be contact between students upon entering or leaving the Studio.
- Only one student (and one parent ) will be allowed to attend any given in-person lesson.
- Piano keys and bench will be sanitized between students.
- Students must wear a mask for in-person lessons.
- Students must clean their hands with sanitizer upon arrival.
- Students will not be allowed to attend an in-person lesson if they are not feeling well or show symptoms of the virus including coughing and/or sneezing (even if we both think it is allergies).
- December Groups will be TBA depending on how the pandemic is acting. (I am hoping we can do in-person Christmas Groups!)
- THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE! This semester the password is Be Flexible!

Studio May 2020 Recital
What a wonderful "second best" way to have the recital! I so enjoyed seeing all the videos as well as the different ways families settled in to watch the movie produced by Mr. Ashton Byrum. Thank you, Mr. Byrum!! To my students: you were wonderful! Congratulations everyone!! YouTube video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thT-hPX_zD0
To my seniors -- thank you so much for the video ending the night's program. Emily Williams - you and I have been together for 12 years yet you still managed to surprise me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
