Returning to Face to Face Lessons
I was just wondering how many Australian teachers were teaching face to face in their homes. If so does that include all your students, and how many, do you still have coaches present? If you are still teaching online when do you plan to go…

Piano at Home

Pop Up Lesson and Lesson Bomb
An idea that might be helpful, especially to those teachers in the southern hemisphere wanting to schedule a lesson bomb with Neil: I invited students to a Pop Up Piano Lesson. This was a time outside of anybody’s regular lesson time. I scheduled a lesson…
