I know, I know! We just barely got past Halloween; Thanksgiving is still a week away. These poor holidays often get overlooked because retailers have to start getting ready for the next big holiday.
Unfortunately, piano teachers have to be thinking ahead too. It’s been sounding a lot like Christmas in our studios for a few weeks. Or, if it hasn’t yet, it soon will be. Piano parents, get ready for a Christmas music avalanche!
Listen in on this week’s teacher chat with Anna Fagan and Karen Young as we discuss how we help our students prepare to share music this holiday season.
Listen to the full episode here.
