Do you have trouble motivating teens in your piano studio? I think we’ve all found this difficult from time-to-time. My guest today is an expert at reaching teen students and connecting to them with the music they love.

Jerald Simon has composed a whole series of pieces designed to inspire students that are especially great for motivating teens. He calls them Cool Songs because that’s what his students call them.
Take a listen to this episode and hear how Jerald saved many students who were on the brink of quitting by listening to what they wanted to learn and finding the music that would hook them.ย
