Tr. Zac's 4th graders
After a slow and gradual ramp up into learning in person, we've got our routines together and we can finally communicate with each other across the room (the fans and the distance have put up quite a challenge). After some trial and error, we've figured out how to use Zoom to have conversation, collaboration, and play — which we first tested by playing top it in break out rooms. Kids have even adapted old games into new-covid friendly ones—such as "Write Down the Lane.
Students also organized their own authentic writing project around writing eulogies for the funeral of our "class pet" Luigi the Cricket.

ZOOM Piano Lessons
Hi to all: My name is Emily Nicholson and I’ve been teaching piano at Lansdowne Friends School for many years. I also attended Lansdowne Friends years ago. It has been a very topsy turvy year to say the least, and I regret not being able to come in person to teach in the Meetinghouse but completely understand and support the “why”.
This is what I have decided: I can teach children who have had some experience already with a few piano lessons, but unfortunately it is not my desire to start a child out as a total beginner with virtual lessons. I have two or three slots open in my afternoon schedules on Tuesday and Wednesday and am already teaching some LFS students virtually on those afternoons who have been studying with me for a few years now. Guess what? Zoom piano lessons actually work and are not that difficult to set up, as long as you have a laptop situated next to a piano keyboard.
If you would like to have your child develop his or her musical interest with piano instruction, please contact me at 610 316 2783 (facetime is OK!) or email me at [email protected]. We can discuss whether virtual lessons will work for them. My openings on Tuesday are at 3:45 – 4:15, and then at 5:00 – 5:30. On Wednesday I have a 5:15 – 5:45 available.
My pricing is the same as before: $28.00 per ½ hour lesson. I have been receiving payments via Venmo, and I send an email invoice in advance of a monthly pay period.
Looking Forward,
Emily Nicholson ‘65
Bachelors of Music in Piano Performance
