This section is being covered by the fabulous and talented Sophia Mintas! Although the class is online through Outschool, enrollees support local business (greater Pittsburgh area). Price recently reduced.

This is an ongoing class for musicians to discuss topics in music and to form bonds with other musicians.

Important Facebook “PSA”: Care package delivery at Asbury UMC in Uniontown has been rescheduled to Monday, March 22nd 4:30-7:30p.

We are back in the studios as of April Fool’s Day. Reserve your lesson spot now! COVID protocols will be in place. Please invite ANY and ALL people interested in the launch of the music school. Please share louder than ever.

There’s a new Outschool section beginning Monday, March 29th! Do share.

This class will teach learners all about the 3 pedals on the piano – what they do, what they are called, where they are used in piano music, and how they work mechanically.

Getting ready for the rain date for care package distribution at Asbury UMC in Uniontown! I’m adding more care packages because I’m hopeful that more people will come to the event to learn about what my music school model will be doing for communities. No strings attached. Come meet me, the newly hired instructors, see our Fayette County space, and get your kiddo some candy and stickers (maybe they’ll share the candy… ). Please share loudly but RSVPs are required to ensure that I have enough to distribute. Date TBA but highly likely a Monday in March. All my love. — Miss Val

Heya friends! The Lamplighter granted permission for my cocktail piano hours to be live-streamed over Zoom for those of you who asked about virtual attendance. The events are tonight – Tuesday 3/9/21 and Friday 3/12/21 – both a 6:30p start time, but there’s flexibility with how to participate. Literally anyone who would enjoy hearing it can attend now!

Call for a reservation and they’ll make room for you – safety protocols with COVID and all.

Please contact me if you’re interested in more info. Yes, do the share thing.

Hey friends! Please take a moment and check out this article that was in the Trib. Someone you know well (Me! ) was a part of the collaborative interview for the article. Shirley McMarlin is an extremely talented writer for the paper. I’m looking forward to the days to come for my business, student families, surrounding communities, and my awesome newly hired contractors. Please share loudly.

🥰 Friends: I am playing at the Lamplighter in Delmont, PA tonight and Friday night, 3/9 and 12 from 6:30-10p ish.

The Zoom link will enable you to come and go as you please within that time window. You will need the password: martini. The link below is only for tonight and there is a separate one for Friday.

Please keep your mics on mute unless asked otherwise. Video for your end is optional. You will be able to see the piano in the ballroom.

Reach out with any questions.

I’m going to include Danny Boy, When Irish Eyes Are Smiling, Bohemian Rhapsody, Killing Me Softly, and more!

It’s that time again! I’ll be delivering care packages in Allison Park on Monday, 2/8 and Uniontown on Monday, 2/15. Current and former students and their siblings are welcome to come get one and say hello, as well as student prospects.

RSVP required so that quantity covers outcome. I’m not an avatar piano teacher on a screen and we will be resuming in person lessons this spring — most likely April. Some of the newly hired Music with Miss Val instructors will be there to greet families, too.

We are accepting new students in piano, voice, and woodwinds. Masks and distancing required. See you soon!
