GRAB EARLY-BIRD REGISTRATION for the 2022 Piano Camp for Piano Teachers “Sorting Out the Piano Classics: What to Teach and When”

It’s time for our biennial VIRTUAL conference – the 2022 Piano Camp for Piano Teachers! Our theme voted by teachers this year is “Sorting Out the Piano Classics: What to Teach and When” While this content already exists as a self-study online course at Piano Teacher Academy, many teachers asked me to present it cohort-style, where we would all view the previously-recorded material together as a group (LIVE via webinar) with plenty of time afterwards for me to answer specific questions. So here’s your chance to receive a complete walk-through of the piano classics, from mid-elementary to early advanced, with teaching tips and advice on the most commonly-taught pieces and how to present them in a logical order of progression. We’ll talk about each grade level specifically, when exactly to start classical piano literature, how to match your methods with particular classical collections, and so much more!

The 7 sessions will come to you via WEBINAR with VIDEO REPLAYS complete with LIFETIME ACCESS!

CLICK HERE to VIEW the CONFERENCE DETAILS! Early-bird discounted registration is underway and expires July 22 at midnight central!

The Conference will begin on Friday, July 22, with a PRE-CONFERENCE SESSION given by Dr. Jane Magrath!

Join us for a special Conference “warm-up!” with renown pedagogue, Jane Magrath. She’ll give us an insider’s view of her new piano teaching guide “Piano Literature for Teaching and Performance” which was just released in 2021. Besides a preview of the content, Jane will discuss how teachers can use this book to discern what is possible for students at various stages of their musical growth. I just received my copy, and wow! It’s updated with all the latest publications for piano students including new composers, neglected composers, and current information on where to find material. Don’t miss this session!

Besides myself, 3 other guest presenters will present sessions on the intricacies of teaching Mozart and Baroque/Classical ornamentation.

Teachers have often asked me for specific guidance and direction in teaching Mozart (so tricky to teach!) and ornamentation rules (how to execute ornaments in varied scenarios). I found experts to help you with both subject areas! They’ll provide you with the pinpointed clarity you need with both LIVE demonstration and close-up video and you’ll also have PLENTY of opportunity to ask them questions!

There will be door prizes for LIVE attendees and coupon codes for all registrants. Even if you can’t attend the LIVE webinars, you’ll receive “forever” access to the video replays and handouts!

Attend the webinar sessions LIVE on July 22 and July 28- 31, 2022 via your computer or mobile device from anywhere in the world AND/OR watch the replays at your leisure later on your own time without expiration!

👉🏼Yes! I’ll RESERVE my EARLY-BIRD SEAT NOW!

REGISTRATION IS ON! for the 2020 Piano Camp for Piano Teachers “The Heart and Art of Interpretation”


Not all piano conferences are cancelled!

I am so pleased to bring to you our biennial VIRTUAL conference – the 2020 Piano Camp for Piano Teachers! Our theme this year is “The Heart and Art of Interpretation!” So many teachers have shared with me that interpretation, expression, tone, color, artistry, and all the other elements that could easily fall under the category of “interpretation,” are teaching struggles for them no matter what level they teach. How do we get our students to reach beyond the basic execution of notes and rhythms and play with a commitment to the beauty of sound, color, nuance, and expression? How to we teach them to address “style” in their performances? These questions and many more will be answered in this conference!

The 11 sessions will come to you via WEBINAR with VIDEO REPLAYS complete with LIFETIME ACCESS!

Check out all the details here.

The 2020 Piano Camp for Piano Teachers VIRTUAL Conference will showcase 7 presenters who will deliver lectures on style differences, techniques for communicative performances, imaginative musical thinking, the interpretation of jazz styles, the art of pedaling, and so much more! And this year, we’ve added 4 showcases by major publishers!

You’ll have a chance to interact with these presenters, the showcase clinicians and other participants, ask questions, plus….there will be door prizes for LIVE attendees and coupon codes for all registrants. Even if you can’t attend the LIVE webinars, you’ll receive access to the replays and handouts later!
Attend the webinars and showcases LIVE on June 25- 28, 2020 via your computer or mobile device AND/OR watch the replays at your leisure later on your own time with no expiration!

Yes! I’ll RESERVE my SEAT NOW!

2019 Piano Camp for Piano Teachers – Create Your Own “Self-Guided” Online Camp!

Due to a heavier workshop travel schedule this summer, I will not be able to present a 2019 Piano Camp for Piano Teachers event (in-person or online camp). Faber Piano Adventures has asked me to fill in for Randall Faber during his temporary break from workshop travel this summer and of course, I am happy to do so. I’ve been part of their team for so many years and I’m thrilled and honored to step in and assist. (And I hope to meet many of you while on the road, which makes me feel better!)

So the good news is… I’ve created a different online summer camp experience you can attend on your own time, 24/7, with UNLIMITED access!

Welcome to WEBINAR WORKSHOPS! – where you can view video replays of almost all of my previous webinars (mini-workshops), plus receive access to future webinar sessions.

🎶 I designed these webinar sessions for piano instructors, new and seasoned, with a focus on the pain points we all encounter often in our teaching.

🎶 You’ll find sessions for piano teaching at all levels, most of which are geared toward elementary to intermediate-level teaching but always with a mindset towards teaching for the future.

🎶 Included are Piano Play-Along and Read-Along teacher discussions, plus I plan to offer some exclusive webinar sessions later – just for Webinar Workshops members!

DISCOUNTED REGISTRATION WITH 💥2 BONUSES are available now if you enroll BEFORE MONDAY, June 3, at Midnight Central!

2 PDF Rhythmic Subdivision Charts

And the BEST PART? For this self-guided Camp, you get to choose the enrollment fee that suits YOU – as little as $5/month or enroll with the discounted LIFETIME access. HURRY! Because the low-cost lifetime access + the 2 bonuses above expire on Monday, June 3, Midnight Central, so grab it while you can!

Note: The subscription prices will remain the same for the summer, but you’ll want to lock those in permanently!

Questions? Message us here at the site OR email elizabeth@pianoteacheracademy.com.
