Notes from The Music Hub

August 22, 2026

10-Day Countdown!

There are 10 days left to join The Music Hub at founding member pricing!

Tuition rates go up 25% September 1!


How far have you gotten in piano so far with lessons or apps or trying method books on your own?

In The Music Hub, in just 24 lessons you can go from a never-played-piano-before beginner to an early-intermediate player!

What does that mean?

Here are two pieces to show you what is possible!

This first one, Call and Response, is from Lesson 12. This lesson is the lesson in which I introduce intervals and playing two notes at once in one hand.

Call and Response is a 5-finger, 5-note piece suitable for mid-stage beginners that uses the first five notes in A minor. It reinforces note reading while moving the hands to a new position. The repetition in the LH makes the piece easy to learn, while the variations in the RH "responses" keep it interesting. The groove is quite catchy!

This next video is of Elegy, from Lesson 24. This piece has a sophisticated harmony incorporating just a few sharps and flats while keeping the fingering and technique accessible to early intermediate players. The use of the pedal helps create the achingly beautiful mood fitting for an elegy.

Imagine being able to play one of these recital-worthy pieces for your friends! The Elegy could even be played at a funeral or memorial service.

You don't have to be a concert pianist or even an advanced pianist to begin finding fulfillment in playing meaningful music!

These are just two examples of the pieces I include in The Music Hub. In addition to over 70 other original works, I also include arrangements of folk songs, like

  • Shenandoah
  • 900 Miles
  • Sakura, Sakura
  • Wayfaring Stranger
  • And many, many more!

I also incorporate hymns, Christmas carols, Blues tunes, and very easy classical pieces.

You will find something you love to play inside The Music Hub!

The Music Hub will help you

  • Read music fluently
  • Play with both hands together
  • Play in multiple positions on the keyboard (not just in one spot or one key.)
  • Play with feeling (dynamics and articulation)
  • Understand sharps and flats
  • Understand intervals and chords
  • Understand fingerings

The learning continues on, too. When you are done with the Piano Accelerator Levels 1&2, you will be able to learn scales and chords and how to read lead sheets. Plus, there are modules for additional genres of music!

New lessons are added every month!

There are two ways to join:

Option 1: Video Lessons and Group Sessions

($60 USD/mo, $575 USD/yr)


Option 2: Video Lessons, Group Sessions PLUS one (30-minutes) online private lesson each month

($100 USD/mo, $960 USD/yr)


Remember, when you join, your tuition will never go up for as long as you remain an active member!

Tuition rates increase for new members on September 1, so now is the time to join at this lowest, founding-member price!


Simply respond to this email if you have any questions!

Happy Music Making!

Notes from The Music Hub October 5, 2026 Knowing Note Names Is Not Reading Music Have you ever sat down to learn a new piece of music and become frustrated with how long it takes? You’ve learned the letter names. You’ve filled out the worksheets. Maybe you’ve even memorized the lines and spaces. But you're still asking yourself, "Why is this SO hard?" Here’s the problem: Knowing the note names is not the same thing as being fluent at reading music. Over the last few weeks, I've been teaching...

The semester is about halfway over already. We are currently in the 7th week of the semester and fall break is next week. In many ways, the semester is running quite smoothly. I have three very long days. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I leave the house at 6:30am. On Monday, I get home at 6:30PM. On Wednesday, I head to choir rehearsal after I get out of school and get home at about 9:30PM. On Fridays, I get home at 6:30PM unless I attend a concert or meet someone for dinner. I have classes...

Notes from The Music Hub September 28, 2026 What Fur Elise Taught Me About Meter A few weeks ago, one of my students in The Music Hub who has graduated from the Piano Accelerator program asked me about learning Fur Elise by Beethoven. Fur Elise is a great intermediate level piece of music, and a "crowd favorite", so-to-speak, so I was happy to oblige. I am in the process of creating tutorials and demonstration videos on how to play the piece. But the first thing I did was re-engrave the...
