  • Ooohhhhhh… I have just downloaded the scale fingering chart, as scales are my “extra focus“with all my students this year!
    I’ve also purchased Natalie‘s arrangement, as those are two of my favorite inspirational pieces… Also, I’m happy to have something new to watch on Netflix for the upcoming holiday weekend!
    As if that weren’t enough, I see that you also have all kinds of Halloween resources! Bless you! I am going to host an online Halloween party/recital this year, for the first time
    Thanks so much
