New for Fall 2023

Great News! 
I am honored to be included on the staff of excellent musicians and instructors at The Piano Cottage on Boston, SE in Grand Rapids. 

One of the biggest challenges to me personally in rebuilding after 2020 has been a venue and marketing. The Piano Cottage provides these things to me. This studio has outstanding leaders and amazing students. I already have a few students, and am eager to fill my schedule.

I also want to continue to offer my sibling specials during the day for Home School families. This day will be Tuesday, beginning after Labor Day. I am willing to travel to your home. (Grand Rapids area) Parents may continue instruction for other children while the music students take turns learning with Ms. Kreenah. After the first student at full price, all other siblings are just $15 each. As a former home school mom of many, I know families have appreciated this service in the past. I do expect this day to fill quickly, so make your reservations NOW. I do affiliate with Hamilton Homeschool Community Partners. 

Many new and exciting options for Music Education. I look forward to meeting you all!

Musically Yours,
Ms. Kreenah

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:
Tuesdays: 11th, 18, 25th
Wednesdays: 12 and 26th
Thursdays: 13 & 20th

May openings:
Mondays: 1st, 8th and 15th
Tuesdays: 2, 16, and 30th
Wednesdays: 17th and 24th
Thursdays 4th and 25th.

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
