The Music Studio

Along with teaching, Liberty has served as an accompanist and organist/choir director at various churches and choral groups, and is an accomplished performer on piano, organ, and harpsichord.

A certified Orff instructor, she is a member of the American Orff-Schulwerk Association as well as the National Guild of Piano Teachers.

Liberty created The Music Studio’s educational programs, developing curricula for a wide range of ages.

[7] Liberty wrote her own textbooks for the first portion of The Music Studio’s Foundation Program, as none existed for very young students at the time.

The four session course allows the toddlers and their parents to partake in musical activities including songs, dances, games, and different instruments.

At the end of the year, both cohorts from The Foundation Program perform in an end-of-year show,[13] most recently held at The Palace Theater in Albany.

The school has offered several different summer programs in the past, including the Piano Camp, The Music Studio Rocks,[19][20] and Catch a Rising Star.

[21] The Music Studio Kids are a group of students within The Piano Program that gather and perform at several different venues and events.

[22] When The Music Studio was first asked to join the concert, Liberty looked to find Christmas compositions for both Orff and orchestral instruments.
