There's a ton of useful info here, even for private piano teachers like me! I was very interested in your thoughts on self-promotion since I just posted about fear of self-promotion and the private teaching studio. I think so many musicians find it distasteful to self-promote because we see sleazy advertising and subsequently think of all advertising as sleazy. Marketing your studio doesn't have to center around Me Me Me, so much as the "product" you are offering, which is a lifetime of being able to play beautiful music, and all the fringe benefits that entails. Would love your response to my post! Don’t know why I’m just getting around to reading your wonderful blog. There’s a ton of useful info here, even for private piano teachers like me!

What if I taught pivoting from the beginning rather than Simandl technique?" IN my opinion, The Capuzzi, especially the new version in C (?) is a lovely piece to give to a student. There are of course a variety of others. For me pivoting is cool with proper usage but then so is Simandl. Shall we stay open minded?
