Life is Better with Music
Miss Erica
I'm Erica Rae Austin, a homeschooling mother and devoted musician. My musical journey commenced at the tender age of 5 with Suzuki violin lessons, and by 9, I had embraced both piano and flute. These instruments, along with others, accompanied me in pit orchestras throughout my schooling, but piano has remained my central focus.
I began my higher education at Houghton College/SUNY Fredonia, delving into piano and flute studies for a year, before embarking on a path of exploration. This included pursuing Jewelry Design at Buffalo State College, embarking on travel adventures, and exploring diverse job opportunities. After welcoming my son, I chose to return to SUNY Fredonia part-time, successfully attaining a bachelor's degree in Applied Piano. This accomplishment led me to work as a freelance accompanist around the university, all while pursuing acceptance into the Collaborative Piano Performance Master’s Degree program.
I embraced this challenge wholeheartedly, completing all coursework and proudly presenting my master's recital in March 2020. Beyond the wealth of knowledge and musical growth I've gained, a newfound passion for teaching private lessons has emerged. The dynamic task of understanding each student's unique learning style and nurturing their love for music engages the multifaceted skills I've acquired throughout my diverse life experiences.
My journey at the studio commenced just as the COVID pandemic struck. After a hiatus, we reopened our doors in September, and I have continued to teach ever since. Additionally, I serve as the Minister of Music for St. John’s Community Church of Eden and contribute to the musical landscape as a keyboardist and backup vocalist for 23 Skidoo.

I am Miss Heidi, the proud owner and creator of this cozy studio nestled in South Dayton, NY. My love for music started during my childhood when my parents acquired our first piano – an instrument that has been a constant companion throughout my life's journey. I can vividly recall the mesmerizing moments when my Uncle, without sheet music, effortlessly played "The Entertainer," leaving me utterly awestruck. This experience ignited an instant and enduring passion for music and thus beginning my eagerness to embark on taking music lessons.
However, the initial challenge I encountered was that my teacher recommended learning an instrument before diving into piano. This led me to join the school band when I was in fourth grade, with the flute captivating my heart. Little did I anticipate that this love for music would blossom into a fulfilling career in the years to come. The flute emerged as my principal instrument during my band years and later in college. I ventured into piano as my secondary instrument, commencing in fifth grade. My musical explorations further expanded in seventh grade when I embraced the saxophone and unearthed the world of jazz.
Subsequently, I pursued music education studies at SUNY Fredonia, in 1992. Over the years, I've donned a multitude of hats, assuming roles ranging from a music teacher, waitress, and cashier to a butcher, Teacher's Aide, Teaching Assistant, church pianist, accompanist, and even a nanny. Yet, my most cherished roles remain that of a mother to my four wonderful children and a devoted wife to my incredible husband.
In 2014, I took a pivotal step by establishing this very studio, where I have been passionately teaching ever since. Welcoming well over a hundred students through these doors, witnessing their growth and enthusiasm, has been incredibly rewarding. Adding to this creative venture, I initiated a Drama Club several years ago, fueled by my aspiration to sustain the arts within our tight-knit community.
In an exciting development this year, I've embarked on a new chapter as an author, creating a guitar method book titled "Guitar for Little Fingers." This endeavor stems from my commitment to fostering musical education in innovative ways. I am already in the process of book #2 and have started a piano method series as well.
I will continue to breathe life into the arts in this charming small town for many years to come. With gratitude, I look forward to nurturing the arts in our town this year and beyond.
