2020 brought about many unexpected new realities and for my family, choosing to take our son out of school to homeschool him, was ours.As I wrote in another blog post The Unexpected Homeschooler, distance learning was super stressful for our 8-year-old son and despite his public school doing a great job, it just was not sustainable for us for another year. (Our public school was only doing 1-2 days a week of in-person learning, which would have meant the lion’s share would still be online.)To take over as a teacher was not a stretch for me: I have been active in music education for over 25 years, having taught music in pretty much every imaginable setting. I have taught early childhood, k-8, middle school, high school and college (I’m currently on faculty at Fordham University.). I also run a busy private studio where I teach piano, voice, songwriting and musicianship to a wide variety of ages, levels and styles.
