Finally! A New Post

But it's not here!  It's over at the new site for this blog.  So hurry over there and read it.  And while you're at it, if you have been following me here, take a second to click the "follow" button over there.  Or even if you haven't been following me.  Now's a great time to start.  But not here.  Because this is the last new post I'll ever write here. 

Oh, that sounds so ominous and final.

Here's the new blog.  Go there now.  Click it.  Go on, click. 1-2-3, click!  See? That was easy!

Moving Day

Just wanted you all to know that I've moved this blog to WordPress. My other blog is there, so it's just easier to have them both at the same place.

Here's the link: My New Blog

I'd like to say there's a shiny new posting awaiting there for your reading pleasure, but nothing has struck me funny in the last couple of days, so I'm afraid it's just the same old stuff that's on this blog.

But hope springs eternal...

I did put up a nifty banner photo that my very own husband took. So there is that to look at.

Hope to see you there!

Top Ten Reasons I Love Being A Piano Teacher at home

10) I never have to study up ahead of time -- been teaching the same songs for 20 years now.
9) Even though the songs are the same, no lesson is ever the same as any other lesson
8) Apart from teaching a child to read, there's nothing like watching a young brain start to understand written music
7) It's very easy to curry favor with my clients (bribe them with candy at the end of the lesson)
6) I can tell the same jokes over and over and still get a laugh.
5) I get gifts from students on Valentine's Day and Christmas
4) I get to shop for stickers and fun pencils and write them off as a business expense.
3) Things my students say provide me with a never-ending source of Facebook statuses.
2) Can't beat the commute.

And the Number One Reason I Love Teaching Piano:

1) The day I heard a student had said to her mother, "I like the new teacher. She doesn't yell at me."
