    Tips for Teaching Online with Carly Walton

    In episode #68, you eavesdrop on my conversation with piano teacher and pioneer Carly Walton. If you aren’t familiar with Carly and her story, you’ll be blown away by her incredible timing back in 2019. When most of us were comfortable teaching in our brick-and-mortar studios, she was among the first to explore the possibilities of teaching piano online. When March 2020 hit, Carly had no idea that her expertise would become a beacon for teachers forced to pivot and face the vast frontier of online teaching. Today she encourages teachers to build their online studios at her membership site, Teach Music Online. Listen in as Carly recommends her favorite tools for teaching online, simple activities to engage students, and tips for getting new students online or in person. I gained some significant tips from Carly, and I know you will, too. Head to the show notes to learn more about Carly HERE. Save your spot at the COMPOSIUM HERE.

    How Music is Wired for Healing with Adriana Barton

    Episode #66 is my conversation with Canadian journalist Adriana Barton. Adriana just released her new book called Wired For Music in which she shares her search for health and joy through music. Due to unfortunate circumstances and extraordinary connections, I am privileged to have connected with Adriana and now share our conversation with you. It’s a significant honor that Adriana includes our family’s story in her book! In this episode, you hear the story of how Adriana and I connected. Next, Adriana discusses her quest to establish a healthy relationship with music after a childhood of relentless practice toward perfection left her injured and joyless. “Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology and evolutionary biology, my book argues that music is much more than entertainment or a rarefied artform: It’s an age-old system to boost human health, connect us to each other (even at a chemical level) and add meaning, resilience and joy.” -Adriana Barton Follow THIS LINK for the show notes to get your free FORTE account and your free sheet music from WENDY STEVENS.
