I e-met Leah online when her studio participated in the PIANOVEMBER Practice Challenge. She runs a vibrant studio, that is actually called Vibrant Valley Music Studio. She is active in her own pursuit of learning to teach her students. In fact, we were just able to book this interview before Leah heads to the MTNA Convention in Spokane, WA.
I love the name of her studio, Vibrant Valley Music Studio and I especially love her teaching philosophy, "Nurturing tomorrow's musicians through creativity, inspiration, and community."

"Things and Wings" by Liz Story is one of the pieces that made Leah feel like an actual accomplished pianist. She still has this piece memorized and under her fingers to this day!

Take the time to find the right teacher.
It is worth all the time to interview many teachers. Don't just settle for the teacher who is most convenient.
You are embarking on what could be along and life-changing journey. The relationship with your teacher is crucial to the success of that journey. If you don't find the right person, it could end very quickly.
