I’M ROSEMARIE PENNER

An online piano teacher, writer, composer & speaker. AND, I’ve found a way to balance a boutique studio with family life & personal growth! At least most days.

I get it.

Running a studio & teaching kids isn’t the easiest job in the world. And, trying to balance a life outside of that doesn’t make it any easier.

I’ve been there.

Having my toddler twins on my lap while creating my studio website,
Walking across the field in heels to watch my kids play soccer after teaching,
Negotiating the puzzle of studio & family schedules,
Having pets & babies sit on my lap while teaching at my students’ homes,
And, everything in between.

But, you know what? Running a studio & teaching music is one of the most rewarding careers there is! You’ll have the most hilarious, heart-warming, thought-provoking moments of your life. And, you’ll always have a story to tell!

I’ll guide you with the best strategies for teaching creatively, handling admin, &, of course, creating balance through it all. Whether it’s pen & paper or digital, you’ll get the support you need to build the studio of your dreams.
