If there is one thing I LOVE, it’s incorporating games into my teaching — especially Boom Cards!! I’m a firm believer that games need to be fun and educational. With every game I create, I ensure that each one focuses on building upon what my students are working on and gives them a chance to […]

If we are having a conversation about teaching piano, it is guaranteed you will hear me talk about NoteMatch. This is THE tool that is missing in your visual elements that your students (of all ages) need to comprehend their sheet music.

Being able to turn my passion into a career has been one of the biggest blessings in my life! If you would have told me 20 years ago that I would not only be teaching piano lessons, but running my own piano business and creating resources for other piano teachers (WHATTT?!), I would have told

If you follow along on social media, you may already know that Baby Evan just couldn’t wait to be here and made his debut on May 25th!! Being home and holding BOTH of my babies has meant THE WORLD to me and I am just soaking up every second I have with them. And I

Teaching the fundamentals of piano is not always fun – and that’s just the honest truth! To be real with you, I can’t reallllly fault kids for not wanting to practice piano! (I KNOW.. that sounds crazy coming from me!!) BUT it’s all about the way you teach it! Personally, I remember being a young

I’m not going to lie to you…when I first started online piano lessons, it felt overwhelming when it came to finding the resources that worked for me and my students. Let’s just say there’s been a looooot of trial and error over all my years of teaching but I never could’ve guessed I’d be teaching

Time to bring out the Lucky Charms and the green clothing (just to be on the safe side) because it’s time to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day! I love this holiday with all the gold coins, bright rainbows, sneaky leprechauns, and lucky four-leaf clovers, but it has always signified something else as well… spring is near!!

Can you believe Valentine’s Day is right around the corner? You better believe I have already been celebrating with my favorite valentine’s candy! Is it just me, or is everything so much cuter when it’s in the shape of a heart? Not to mention, I am loooving all the pink and red that has flooded

Happy New Year, TEACHERS!!! Wow, I cannot believe it is already 2022 and time to begin a new year! *Cue the confetti* ??? For someone who had a very heartbreaking 2021, I am trying to keep my head up and see all the good that can come with this new year. And the fun must

Fall has always been one of my favorite times of year. ? The leaves changing, the holidays approaching, and alllll the super fun ways to incorporate festive activities into my piano lessons! Duh.  If you’re new around here, Cascade Method is all about teaching how to play piano with an effective (and fun) method to

It’s true — if you’re not excited about your piano lessons, then there’s a good chance your students aren’t either. One of the biggest reasons I see piano teachers sign up for the Cascade Method Teacher Training Course is to help make their lessons more fun and exciting so that they can effectively teach their

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we want to share our gratitude for all Cascade Method members and students we’ve been graced to teach and certify. My purpose of Cascade Method started out as something so small and continues to grow into something much larger and significant than I originally imagined. The only thing

There were several learning curves I had to go through to get my music on all the top music platforms. Last month, I shared with you how to copyright your music. This month, I’m sharing with you which platforms and distributors I used to get my music out there to the world and how you
