Back in Business!

Hello everyone!
It has been an interesting couple of years. I have missed being able to work with music students and having recitals. I also missed bringing joy and happiness to parties and receptions with event piano!

But I am ready to build things up again! I am back to performing, and eager to do some MORE event music, for sure. I have added more repertoire, and am in the process of moving my vast music library to an Apple iPad. I have been using this at Von Maur when I play there, and with Sam's Swing Band, and it works like a charm.

As I transition this spring to providing lessons, I want to focus on piano and clarinet. During COVID, I had to sell my trumpet and my guitar. I do still have my alto saxophone, and you may remember that I also gave vocal lessons. I am still open to other instruments, but think that focusing on piano and clarinet for now is good. Maybe expand again in the fall 2024.

SPRING 2023 SPECIAL INTRODUCTORY OFFER:
* Four 30 MINUTE LESSONS FOR JUST $100 ($120 value)
* choose your own dates March -May, 2023
* Sign up by March 30, 2023


My availability varies, as I have committed to various substitute teaching jobs in the area, and am Executive Assistant at the United Jewish School as well. My Spring availability:

March openings:
Mondays: 6th and 27th
Wednesday 15th and 29th
Thursdays: 2, 9, and 16th

April openings:

Although I have served the home schooling population for years, I am finding this year that I do not have enough students to continue offering lesson time during the day, 9am-3pm.
Lessons are only available Monday, Tuesday and Wednesdays.
My time slots are Tuesday: 4:30-7:30, & Monday and Wednesday 4:30 only

Sign up for a lesson slot now! Limited availability

Hello!
I am getting excited about beginning in-person lessons in September! SO much more interaction and communication, plus immediate feedback in real time!
I am amending my lesson times from previously posted times, in order to work around my other vocations of music making and school administration.
Lessons are offered;
Tuesday mornings
Tuesday afternoons
Tuesday evening
Friday morning
Friday early afternoon
Rates are the same:
30 minutes in-person = $30, or $35 on Zoom
60 minutes in-person = $45 or $50 on Zoom
additional fee if I come to your home.
Zoom have an extra 10 minutes allotted for technical issues.

I've had some inquiries about elementary music classes and theory classes. I do not currently have any scheduled. However if enough people are interested, I can offer elementary music or music theory again. I'd need at least 5 students per class to make it work.

See you soon!
Ms. Kreenah

Hello
Due to lack of interest, and because I haven't had time to market my online classes, I am NOT pursuing classes online this year.
I know that many students are tired of online learning, and are enjoying being back in school again.

I also am busy with my new Administrative Assistant job with the United Jewish School here in Grand Rapids.
I am still offering private lessons (via Zoom), and performing live events.

If you are interested in either lessons or event music, please contact me.

DYNAMICS: We perform interest-creating loud, soft, constant change in music with our instruments (homemade or store bought!) while listening and responding to famous dynamic examples in the music world
CHORDS & SCALES: Explore the tonality of Western Major, minor and modal music, along with an introduction to other systems of tonality in the world.
