If you’ve ever wondered how to go about teaching rhythmic ear training, this is an easy and fun introduction. We start off with recognizing the rhythms first. Once we have done plenty of rhythm measure clapping, we move onto clap back and rhythm bingo. (view post)

Piano Teacher Resources – Monthly Subscription
After (unsuccessfully) searching for a program just like this for a very long time, I decided to create my own. Yes, there are other websites you can get piano teacher resources from. Some are packed with so much information, it is hard to navigate. Some offer resources with too many embellishments to justify printing at home due to cost factor / ink wastage. And some do not give you full transparency of product choice / member options. (view post)
We Will Rock You! (and other Rhythm Cups Fun)
I recently read a Facebook post about how a fellow teacher used Wendy Stevens’ Rhythm Cup Explorations with her students, cupping along to the Ghostbusters theme song, and The Addams Family theme song. I thought I would give it a try. We have been clapping and rhythm-cupping for quite some time, but this brought it to a whole new level! (view post)
Custom Christmas Mini Cards
* NEW ITEM * These cute little mini cards are perfect for attaching to a small gift, or handing out with a candy cane to each of your students. There are a couple of message options, and the cards will be customized with your studio name / logo. Why not give something a little bit different, and lot more personal? (view post)
WordPress Web Design
There is much discussion out there in the Facebook groups / blogs / forums about having your own studio website. As music teachers, we don’t usually have a large marketing budget to spend thousands of dollars on a website. This is why I have decided to offer WordPress website design and services for fellow music teachers. (view post)
Launch Day Has Finally Arrived!!
This project has been actively “in development” for many months. For more than 30 years, I have been teaching, creating, developing, refining, nurturing, inspiring, and purcolating these thoughts and ideas around in my brain. I have created what I believe to be a happy place where teachers can come to be inspired. There are options here. (view post)
Hallowe’en, Music Class, and Micro Cars!
Preschoolers LOVE hallowe’en, music class and micro cars. When you put them all together, you get some fun off the bench learning opportunities. You can do this with whatever resources you might already have on hand, and just lay them out in a pattern on the floor. (view post)
