Another one of my hobbies is gardening, but for aliving I’m growing piano students. Think for a minute of what you are growing as a piano teacher. Not only students getting taller than their teacher, but they are growing in knowledge week in and week out, month after month, recital after recital. Growing in their abilities to play more and more complex and beautiful pieces, having varied experiences, and making new friends. AND your income can grow and grow to move the needle of your financial goals, increase memories with your own family, and go into your own personal growth. So teaching piano is not just a job, it’s money for growth. Growing students, improving piano teachers, and increasing your income at the same time.

Dr. Rachel Ehring is a true creative! She shares all the many hats she wears, and the solutions she has found and developed for each. We talk: link All the things! Here are her top 3 tips for beginning teachers 1. Don't try to do everything. It's easy to get "shiny object" syndrome and want to try everything you hear about, but you have to choose what is going to be the most useful thing right now and focus on that 2. That being said...don't be afraid to try new activities, games, tools. You will start to build an arsenal of activities that you can use "on the fly" if you have a squirrely student or one who is having a hard time grasping a concept. 3. Stories are a great way to connect with students. You can use storybooks about music. I've also created short "sound effect stories" that I use with my beginning students to teach simple musical concepts.
