POV: me trying to figure out where all my money went… 🎹💸
opens drawer full of piano books …oh right 😅

Running a piano studio = LOTS of books, but we’re doing things a little smarter over here ♻️

We have a book buy-back & donation program so gently used books can be passed down to new students. Less waste, more savings, and music keeps going 🎶🤍

If you’ve got books your student has outgrown, bring them in and let’s give them a second life!

Story of my life 😂🫠

Real-time music making 🎶
This duet was learned on the spot!
At Studio88, we focus on complete musical training. Sightreading is one of the hardest skills for students, so we teach it with clear strategy and consistent practice.

Binder pages falling out?
Tape the holes. Re-punch. Done. ✅
Been doing this for 20 years 🤯 and this still beats reinforcement stickers every time.

2025 — my best year yet, and also the scariest. I took a leap, went all in on piano full time, and opened my own studio. More than anything, I learned to slow down — taking time for myself, focusing on what truly matters, and choosing deeper connection over constant motion. I’m not the same person I was at the beginning of this year, and I’m so proud of that growth. Forever grateful for my family, friends, and students who made it all possible. Stepping into 2026 with a full heart 🎹✨

Duet week at the studio! Students are learning the joy of listening, blending, and making music together. These moments remind us that piano isn’t just a solo instrument — it’s a conversation between two musicians. 🎹

Throwback Post 💫

10 years ago, I performed Kabalevsky’s Rondo as part of my Grade 10 RCM preparation. A piece that challenged and inspired me in so many ways. I still remember the nerves, the excitement, and the determination I felt leading up to that exam. It’s incredible how certain pieces stay with you — not just as music, but as milestones in your journey.
