Regardless of whether you teach in pairs, groups, or in the private setting, our trio of accomplished and experienced teachers discuss their pedagogical approaches to fundamental pianistic principles, sequencing, pacing, and planning for students of all ages and levels. In this session, you will learn how these teachers navigate the challenges of working with students of all levels and how the current challenge of teaching in the age of COVID-19 has inspired a more creative approach to teaching piano in a group setting.
