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.

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 Time to plan our fall classes! I am offering music classes and lessons this fall on Tuesday and Thursdays during the week. Tuesdays is for in-person lessons, and Thursday for Zoom format. Check out the details here I look forward to hearing from you! Ms. Kreenah Here is the Rockford Spring Concert. You will see the choir, then civic symphony. Rockford Community Band is last, I'm in clarinet section, second row on the left side. Enjoy 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.
