Hesitant About Teaching Advanced Students?

From Bach to Chopin, gain the skills and confidence you need to guide your students (and yourself) to the next level.

Advancing Pianists Course

Having advanced-level students is something many piano teachers dream of.

But, with the majority of students giving up before they reach that stage, itโ€™s easy to feel overwhelmed and unprepared when a student walks in eager to learn their first Bach Prelude.
With method books a distant memory, itโ€™s now up to you to:

๐ŸŽฏ Choose an appropriate piece
(not too hard, not too easy, but just right)

๐ŸŽฏ Teach healthy and expressive technique
(and correct any ingrained habits)

๐ŸŽฏ Blend functional skills with creativity
(while keeping lessons engaging and enjoyable)

Thatโ€™s where the Advancing Pianists Course comes in.

Feel more confident, prepared, and inspired to teach at a higher level.

You want to guide your advanced students as they grow musically and technically.

But sometimes, theyโ€™ll hit walls with difficult passages.

Or have questions about style and interpretation.

Or lose momentum with long-form works.

In this course, expert teacherย 
Janna Williamson will help you:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Develop strategies for teaching iconic repertoire
(Bach Prelude & Fugue, Classical Sonatas by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, and a Chopin Nocturne)

๐Ÿ‘‰ Teach advanced technique with clarity
(Understand how to support your students through tough passages)

๐Ÿ‘‰ Strengthen your teacher-student relationship
(Boost their confidence in playing specific styles)

This is going to be so helpful, not only for me to teach my students these pieces, but to polish my own playing too!
