I found topcast about three years ago when I was looking for inspiration in my piano teaching. Full of inspirational guests from around the world, Tim offers the piano teacher a one stop shop to explore and connect with leading piano teacher around the world. My mind opened up to the many wondering and innovative teaching ideas, which have made everyday teaching day joyful!
Where to start with reviewing Tim’s podcast...! This is a jam packed, super engaging and incredibly helpful podcast for music teachers. I’m new teacher (violin) and I have been bingeing the podcast for the last few months. Each week Tim interviews someone completely different from the last and the common denominator is a love of music education. Oh wow I could go on for days about the poddy! Thank you Tim and the team. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I recently have been binge-listening to this podcast after discovering it online, feeling very close to burnout and looking for ways to renew my passion. Tim has absolutely changed the way I view my business and my teaching and I have so many creative ideas to implement, leaving me inspired and ready for the new year! Perfect not just for piano teachers but all musicians (I teach piano and voice and manage a studio). Thank you Tim for all the amazing content - you have gained a listener for life!
Great podcast Tim! Loving all of the interviews, I gotten mounds of insights and it has challenged me to improve my own teaching. Super ideas which I incorporate into my lessons one step at a time 😁
I have just about listened to all 155 podcasts by Tim Topham. I am continually inspired by each episode with something to energise my teaching.
The podcasts are very clear and engaging and the questions Tim asks his guests always lead to an informative discussion.
This is my favourite piano teaching podcast.
I actually run a guitar school (though I'm preparing to offer other instruments as well) but I've found loads of inspiring and useful info in each episode. Love your work Tim!
Such a great interview and fantastic to be able to watch the teaching excerpts! Thank you Paula and Tim
Time covers such a wide range of topics that teachers of all ages and backgrounds can be up to date with current pedagogy approaches and can manage professional development in their own time and in the comfort of the home environment. Keep up the good work, Tim. This is a great service. Thank you. :-)
Tim has an obvious and infectious love for piano teaching. He interviews a variety of teachers in a down-to-earth and engaging style. I never fail to find something practical I can use in my studio.
What a great insight into this new method. Julie and Katherine have so many great ideas for new beginners - technique, rote learning, sightreading - all in one place, with great resources. Thanks Tim for the podcast!
