It is always such a joy to visit with other piano teachers to learn how things are working in their studio. It is a special delight to visit with someone from another part of our world. Today, I am excited to share my recent conversation with Austrailian piano teacher, Tim Topham.
Tim has a real passion for helping students find “their” music and giving them tools to allow them to create music for a lifetime.
If you are a piano teacher, already familiar with the amazing resources Tim shares in the piano teaching industry, I think you will get a kick out of hearing his backstory and the wild journey that brought him to piano teaching.
It all started with a small Casio PT-1 keyboard.
Resources and Apps Tim mentioned
Here are just a few of the composers Tim and I discussed
If you could visit with any composer or musician who would you choose and why?
Though many people may see Tim as the “pop/chords” kind of guy, he does appreciate the value of classical music and scales and proper technique. In his own playing, Tim enjoys the music of Chopin, both for its beauty and for its challenge.
