Curious about 30 or 40 piece challenges?

When I mentioned my current creative twist on the 30 piece challenge back in episode 232, I received a LOT of general questions about how to run such a challenge.

Today’s episode (236) covers the nuts-and-bolts, with a HEARTY helping of advice about avoiding the status-quo of piano teaching.

PS: Members of the SuperFriends community will get a BONUS video later this week delving deeper into the creative elements of my particular challenge later this week! Join for $6 . Comment SuperFriend for details! 🥂

Rediscovering your first love…

Before we were teachers of music, we were young people who loved making music.

…not because we HAD to, but because we LOVED to.

Some of you are already great at this… but many of us (🙋🏼‍♀️) have been so busy doing the studio work of teaching, we’ve forgotten the importance of playing *just because we can*.

Today we remind ourselves we have skillsets that MANY people envy… and we owe it to ourselves to enjoy them. 🥂

My Teacher Heart is full from spending a day with my IMTA friends at our state conference this past Friday.

…a simple (too-often unspoken) truth:

Knowing and Doing are two different things.

It sounds obvious, but I think this distinction holds more power over our students than we give it credit for.

Knowing the thing is not the same as doing the thing.

Repeat it early and often! Hear more (including a tangent on why physical therapists are kindred spirits of piano teachers🤣) in Episode 233.

Cheers to DOING the thing, friends!
