 Welcome! Ready for a little sunshine in your life?  

"Uke" are my Sunshine!
I "Lava" Uke....
Ok, ok, that's probably enough for now.

Common Uke Chord Progressions This is an amazing chart that helps you know what are the most likely chord to be used in each Key.  If you like to try to figure out what chords are going to be used in a song, or to transpose a song, this is a helpful tool!

Here are some piano resources that I love: 

First off, I am not an Amazon Affiliate. I just want to link to a few favorite piano method series I use with many of my students. 

Check out this series: Piano Adventures. This is the link to the Primer level, which is a pretty good place to start for most students.  

For younger learners, check out My First Piano Adventure. It's recommended for ages 5-6.

If your littlest one can't wait to start piano, I'd recommend starting with WunderKeys: Piano for Preschoolers.

Your local music store will probably have many of these in stock.  Taking your student on a trip to a local music store may just light a fire in a more reluctant pianist.  Imagine your child seeing all of the shiny pianos and rows of new songbooks, just full of music waiting to be played... what a great way to spend a free hour!  

So Glad You are Here

 

Hello and welcome to my page!  Let's take a minute for introductions.  I am Linnell. I offer fun, flexible lessons in my home in the Intermountain West and online world-wide.  I adore helping children, teens, and adults find joy in creating music. Watching a student make a new connection or master a new concept is so incredible to me. I love to meet a student where they are, help them feel seen and understood, and empower them to take the next step. 

 I have been teaching piano since my baby was a baby. She's learning to drive this summer, so that gives you a hint about how long I've been at this!  I've been teaching ukulele since before Covid.  So that's a whole lifetime ago too, honestly.
