Balance sheets

The downside of business but I know it's important-the balance sheets. I don't mind doing it, but it's work that isn't paid for. Entrepreneurs have to do all the tasks. Note: Never EVER do finances in retrospect. Trying to remember what check amounts were for last summer and even this fall is obviously inaccurate and thus can only be an estimation. Luckily, it's only for my personal records.

Having said that, I'm very thankful for having taken finance because I am now an excel pro or at least semi-proficient and Z's Keys has made double what it has in the past!!! I believe this is a combination of being able to continue lessons regardless of where I am physically as well as taking on more people than normal during the semester.

I have done some web revision and Z's Keys now has its own email, Twitter, and Facebook fan page so feel free to check 'em out and become fans and "friends."

Happy holidays!

#1 on Google

I've achieved my goal of being able to type zs keys into Google and being #1! No need for paid advertising. Whoo hoo!!!

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. This semester has been INSANELY busy, sadly leaving little time to dedicate to the virtual side of the business.

Two of my high school students had their first recital, which went quite well. It's so exciting to hear your students play and know you were a part of them becoming there. It's tre cooler to think that 8 months of that progress was virtual! Proof that Skype pEano lessons aren't a fluke (check out www.zskeys.com)!

I literally got chills when one of my students played Fur Elise. While this semester has been a struggle with my whole relearning how to play piano, I've been able to apply these techniques to my students' technique and helping them to develop preventive technique to injury.
