77. [encore] 3 ways to teach rhythm...you choose the way!

Thursday, August 22, 2024 • Duration 14:30

As we wrap up the last of the summer encore episodes, I HAD to include this one because rhythm is the essential life blood of all music, and is often not taught effectively.

I explore 3 ways of counting rhythm -all of which I use with different students and in different situations

1. traditional "one-and-two-and..."

2. "TA and titi"

3. fruit names!

Don't worry it's all explained, and I'd love to hear how you help YOUR students with rhythm! Find me on Instagram @angelatoone_

.

I go into a lot more detail with how-tos, games, and visuals in the Piano Teacher Primer online course

OR for more specific help, or if you are already currently teaching, I will be hosting another Piano Teacher Primer LIVE Zoom group starting September 12th! Spots are already being spoken for, so fill out this quick no-obligation form if you are at all interested. link

64. performance without anxiety

Thursday, March 28, 2024 • Duration 20:17

Heart beating,

palms sweating,

breathing faster,

hard to concentrate….you know what that means….stage fright or performance anxiety.

Something we all deal with to some extent, and our goal is not to stop feeling nervous, but work with it, and bring in the good feelings with helpful thoughts!

Inthis episode, I share what has worked for me as a pianist, what I learned from my college professors, and my own experience as an independent studio teacher. And of course what has worked for my piano students!

We discuss the thoughts that cause those physical sensations, and what to replace them with

Much more in-depth discussion, including the similarity between feeling nervous and excited, what students think others think about them, what experts have taught me, and more personal experiences, at a live zoom masterclass on this topic.

63. by heart, teaching memorization

Thursday, March 14, 2024 • Duration 20:26

Have you or your students experienced these worst-case scenarios?

Go up to perform…can’t remember the starting notes.
Or the performance is going pretty well, then get stuck and can’t finish!
Or a huge break in the middle or skipped parts!

Mortifying! Traumatic even!

I know from experience!

I share some masterful ideas to help students play by heart.

I‘d recommend pausing this episode and clicking on episode 41 “teach how they learn, 3 sensory modes” for an overview of visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learners. In this episode 63 I talk specifically about how to teach piano memorization differently to the 3 different learning styles. One thing that helps us all….Starting places! Have you heard of them?

.

Let me show you these and more memorization hacks in a live Zoom Masterclass next week: Memorization Mastery.

Thursday, March 21st. 10:30 am Mountain time.

See you there!

62. Pro Tips with Rachel Ehring

Season 62

Thursday, March 7, 2024 • Duration 26:45

Dr. Rachel Ehring is a true creative! She shares all the many hats she wears, and the solutions she has found and developed for each. We talk:

teaching resources, private and group
accompanying (she has a new how-to course coming out! link)
podcasting

All the things! Here are her top 3 tips for beginning teachers

1. Don't try to do everything. It's easy to get "shiny object" syndrome and want to try everything you hear about, but you have to choose what is going to be the most useful thing right now and focus on that

2. That being said...don't be afraid to try new activities, games, tools. You will start to build an arsenal of activities that you can use "on the fly" if you have a squirrely student or one who is having a hard time grasping a concept.

3. Stories are a great way to connect with students. You can use storybooks about music. I've also created short "sound effect stories" that I use with my beginning students to teach simple musical concepts.

Speaking of stories, characters and stories can be fantastic to help students memorize, details to come about techniques to teach Memorizing Mastery and Performance without Anxiety!
