Love Never Melts on February 11 at noon CT

This one-hour class gives your student (and you!) step-by-step live instruction on painting this fun painting. You choose the size, and there are numerous template sizes to trace onto your canvas or wooden round. We use acrylic paints because they are inexpensive, dry quickly, and blend nicely.

  • Step-by-step photo instructions pdf
  • Reference photo to look at while you paint
  • Template PDFs in various sizes to trace onto your canvas
  • Live one-hour class (through Zoom)
  • Replay of the class is available for one year

The Music Appreciation Lesson is "What is a Key Signature" on February 18 at noon CT

Each month, I create and teach a brand new music appreciation lesson, usually focused on a composer, but this month is a music theory concept! We learn about various musical concepts related to composition, music theory, style, music history, and much more. The class is interactive, so students can ask and answer questions.

You receive

  • a printable pack to guide us through the interactive music appreciation lesson
  • a 30-minute LIVE class (through Zoom)
  • Spotify playlist of the music we're listening to, so you can listen more on your own
  • Replays of the class in video and audio formats ar available for one year
