New teacher

on: April 02, 2006, 11:19:13 AM

Are you teaching them individually or in a group lesson?

If you want some really neat group ideas, I interviewed my friend, Julie, who I consider an expert at group piano activities for kids. You can check it out on my podcast. The link is below in my signature. Look up the March 25th episode, "Group Piano Ideas with Julie". We show video clips of her teaching in her studio and how you can keep students engaged in activities throughout a 45-minute class.

Let us know what you think and if you use any of her ideas.
