I love helping my students get creative, but I particularly love helping teachers to get more creative in their lessons—especially if they’re nervous about it!
If you’d like to include more improvisation and composition in your lessons but don’t know where to start, I can help.
I’m offering free mentoring sessions starting in early May.
In these sessions we can talk about anything from elementary improvisation to helping advanced students to write their own arrangements of their favourite songs. I can point you towards useful resources that I’ve used in my teaching and we can explore how they might help you in your lessons.
I mentored my colleague Ruth Alberici, who offered this feedback:
I think it's a great idea and will be well received by many piano teachers. There are so many of us who have been taught traditionally, and creative teaching / improvisation etc is completely out of the comfort zone.
Your teaching style is excellent - you explain everything clearly and the demonstrations are easy to see with the bird's eye camera view. You are also a very good listener.
