This March has been full of surprises. Whether you have watched election polls swish between candidates, weather run amok, or you have been, no doubt, baffled by how active the dreariest month of the year has turned out to be. And the music teaching world has been no exception. Here is a list a collection of my favorite blog posts from March 2012.
Blog: Wendy's Piano Studio
Wendy shares a wonderful collection of tips and tricks for marketing to the homeschool community. I was a homeschooled student myself, so I can really relate to alot of the things she says. The only addition I would make is that alot of homeschoolers use online groups, such as Yahoo!, to communicate and advertise so I highly recommend joining some of your local online groups.
Development of Piano Technique all bundled into one collection
Blog: Arioso7's Blog
Arioso7 takes a look at the beauty and practicality of teaching from Burgmuller's Twenty-Five Progressive Pieces. I am a huge fan of teaching Burgmuller, particularly at the early intermediate levels. I love how Arioso has broken down the technical aspects of each piece for us.
Blog: Nola Piano Teacher
Although she is just starting out, I am already in love with Nola's Blog. Her tips and tricks are spot on and very practical. This post on memorizing tricks is chock full of helpful advice, some of which I have been using for years and some I am now going to start using ASAP.
Note Drop, Write, and Play- A Game from Cecilly
Blog: Susan Paradis' Piano Teaching Resources
