- Education
Practical and proven tips, ideas and advice for private music teachers. Listen in to improve your instrumental or vocal music studio business and find that oh-so-elusive feeling of balance in your life.
Welcome to The Vibrant Music Teaching Podcast! This is the show for you if you’re an instrumental or vocal music teacher that wants friendly, creative and accessible advice.
I’m your host Nicola Cantan. My membership site, Vibrant Music Teaching, helps teachers all over the world to include more games and creativity in their lessons, so that their students giggle their way through music theory and make faster progress. I also run a popular blog, Colourful Keys, where we write about creative ideas and teaching strategies and an interview show, Teaching Studio Stories.
Every Monday I provide bite-sized bursts of inspiration and ideas for instrumental and vocal music teachers. The episodes are usually between 10 and 20 minutes – the perfect length of time to put away some of the music books scattered all over your studio and hide the rest of them in the piano bench.
Listen to a few episodes and hit the subscribe button. When you come across an episode you love, make sure to tell your teacher-friends they can get it for free in any audio app that supports podcasts.

Creative movement and ensemble recitals with Juliet Robinson
Juliet Robinson is on the podcast today and we're chatting about bringing movement into every lesson and including ensembles in recitals.
Trained as a classroom music specialist having gained a 1st Class Honours degree from Trinity College of music and a PGCE at Kingston Polytechnic. Spent over 30 years then teaching in the Midhurst area in the middle of the South Downs, first as an upper secondary teacher, then as an Intermediate school teacher gaining AST (Advanced Skills Teacher) status which gave me the opportunity to support teachers in primary schools. I then worked as a primary music specialist for 10 years working in several schools. On my retirement I then started up a private music business from home, teaching children to be musicians through the piano. I also run two choirs and am a member of two other choirs as well as playing in a recorder group and a steel band.
