If you had $100m to spend on designing, constructing and fitting out a dream music teaching empire, what would it look like? 

Philip Johnston is one of music education’s best-known writers and lateral thinkers, pianist, and composer. Aside from being a musical genius, Philip also holds black belts in three different martial arts and runs Australia’s largest school-based martial arts program.

 For those who were not able to join us at the Piano Pivot Live event held last January 2020, this is a chance to get a taste of what Philip presented.

In this podcast episode, he shares his insights on creating your own dream music teaching empire, with a studio that’s just right for you and your students, using technology and items you might already have  — or are easily available to you.
