Parrish Piano Studio

Schedule: Weekly Options: other,
Ages: 5 through adult

Private piano lessons for beginning through advanced levels of study.

 

Making music affects the brain in positive ways. Read more here.

 

I hold student recitals twice a year: a winter recital just in mid-December, and an end of the school year recital in late May or early June.

 

Recitals are an important component of musical study. In addition to the joy of sharing music with others, they can be inspiring for students who are having difficulties. They help foster the poise and self-confidence needed later in life when we must present ourselves to others in public. All students are encouraged to participate in the recitals, either as performers or as the audience.

 

Students are required to practice on a regular basis - that means at least 5 days a week for a minimum of 20 minutes for younger students, and up to an hour for older and more advanced students.

 

It's always a good idea for a prospective teacher and student to meet and get an idea of whether they're a good match, so if you're interested in lessons for yourself or your child, please contact me and we'll arrange to meet.

 

You can contact me by phone: 831-438-8081 or via email: susan@parrishpianostudio.com.

This immensely popular children's story, told from the point of view of a dog named Harold, starts when his human, Toby, accidentally sits on a baby rabbit wrapped in a bundle on his seat. Chester, the keenly observant family cat, decides there is something weird about this rabbit. Pointy fangs, the appearance of a cape, black-and-white coloring, nocturnal habits ... it sure seemed like he was a vampire bunny. When the family finds a white tomato in the kitchen, sucked dry and colorless, well ... Chester becomes distraught. Trying to make his fears known, he is completely misunderstood, and the results are truly hilarious. Any child who has ever let his or her imagination run a little wild will love this funny, fast-paced "rabbit-tale of mystery."

Following the popular Idiot's Guide books, they have mapped out all you need to know to get through your high school years unscathed - relatively. Earl and Shirley lead us hilarious interactive chapters on everything from the true purpose of high school to crafting the perfect excuse, illustrating the topics with the help of fellow students. But with trouble brewing between Earl and Shirley, will they be able to make it to the end without the entire presentation (and Earl's definition of an idiot) falling apart?
