These books are the perfect organization and teaching tool for you and your students!
As an educator since 1977, it has always been my goal to be the best teacher I could be. Over the last ten years, it has become my passion to share my vision of developing piano studio standards for all piano teachers, regardless of background or formal education.By assessing the most recognized practices of some of the finest teachers and programs, I have developed a curriculum that is well within the reach of any piano teacher.With many areas of music education either overlooked or underexposed, the curriculum incorporates basic areas that are essential for any music student.
As you read through the description of each series and decide what suits your studio, you will discover the beauty and ease these books will add to your teaching.Having an established curriculum, as school systems have, and being able to present this to your student’s parents will elevate your teaching status and professionalism.Your students will understand what is expected of them over the course of each year.You will no longer teach event-to-event, but have expectations met year-to-year.This is a gift you can give yourself.
I know you will find these books a must for your studio as those who have been using them for many years.Let’s start a grass-roots movement to create piano studio standards, one studio at a time.Experience the most exciting teaching years to come!
Warmly,
Elise
