🤩 We’ve been a little MIA over here because we’ve been busy drinking coffee, finalizing Piano Teacher Reset details for this summer’s virtual retreat and checking big items off our list!

It’s been great to have Tara and her amazing daughter, Savannah visit South Carolina for a few days and I’m not sure who enjoyed it more- the humans or Rory, who thoroughly took advantage of all the attention 😂 (scroll 👉 for 🤦‍♀️🤣)

Improvising can feel incredibly intimidating! How do you know where to even begin?? Dr. Louie Hehman from Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky joins Elizabeth to break that myth wide open by encouraging teachers to use the simplest elements to start - for themselves and their students! .hehman

🎶 Isn’t it amazing that we can take a simple chord progression, add a little RH melody and it results in something beautiful and memorable? 🥲

“Slow down, you’re doing fine…” is SUCH an appropriate reminder for teachers at the end of the school year.

☀️ If you feel the need to slow down and do some creating and playing of your own so you can feel refreshed for your students, comment JOIN and we’ll send you the link to join our virtual retreat waitlist.

☀️ Music doesn’t have to be complicated to be beautiful, and creating at the piano doesn’t have to be perfect to bring you joy- sometimes we just need to remember that we’re artists, too.

Tiny soapbox moment. I’ll admit, when I saw this headline I 🙄 🤦‍♀️ because the clickbait is real, but the assumptions here are quite grand indeed. To assume that…

Music study has somehow always been strict and something to dread or abhor?

That this is the very first teacher to EVER reinvent the wheel and teach with intentional creativity and individuality for each learner? 🤦‍♀️

I’m a natural questioner/skeptic and a “show me the data/research” gal, but I’m still not buying it. 😏 Because I (Elizabeth) personally know SO so many teachers who have been making music lessons enjoyable for decades! This isn’t a new concept for most (and for those who identify with the strict, unimaginative teaching described in the clip- I’m sorry that has been your experience, truly.)

*exiting soapbox* 😅 Keep doing what you’re doing, friends! Keep working to make lessons engaging, personable, individualized and full of life and creativity! 🎶

This conversation with Dr. Elizabeth Davis and Dr. Christina Mathis is truly an encouraging delight and fun journey! Grab some coffee or tea and listen in as Christina shares her wisdom about teaching unique students in our unique studios. Not every student has to take the same path in music and we have an opportunity to teach our students how to make their musical journey their own. Join us for episode 26 of the Creative Piano Pedagogy Podcast and check out Christina's podcast Purposeful Piano Pedagogy!

🌊 The teacher in you is tired, and the artist in you is muted. You need a Reset.

Welcome to The Piano Teacher Reset: a virtual retreat for piano teachers to reset their creative rhythms, rediscover the joys of improvisation and creating, and return to their students with a full heart.

🌊 No travel. No lesson plans. Three days of intentional creating, artistic mentorship, and unmuting the joy of play at the piano- to remember why you love what you do and discover new tools and strategies to share that joy with your students!

🌊 The Waitlist is officially open, and if this resonates with you, comment RETREAT and we'll send the link over so you can take a look! (Waitlist folks get exclusive pricing, early registration access, a free visual improv guide, and more bonuses)

Let's reset. Together!

Serious art is born of serious play.” -Julia Cameron (“The Artist’s Way”)

🌱 Improvisation isn’t a performance, it’s a musical conversation rooted in the art of creating.

🌱The Waitlist for the Piano Teacher Reset opens tomorrow! No travel, and it’s not a conference.

It’s a virtual retreat for piano teachers to reset their creative rhythms, rediscover the joy of improvisation and creating, so they can return to their students with full hearts.

Let’s Reset together.
