I had a wonderful time presenting at the AGMS Spotlight on Piano Pedagogy. My presentation was on "The Creative Brain at the Piano: Brain-based, Experience-driven Piano Pedagogy". I shared how brain-based teaching approaches and experience-driven lessons can unlock creativity, deepen student engagement, and shape musical identity at the piano. It was a fantastic opportunity to contribute to pedagogical discussion and engage with other piano educators. AND I return to the studio with new repertoire!! (AGMS launched 2 new grade books!) 🎶 Thanks AGMS - Australian Guild of Music & Speech
