"This course was an excellent opportunity to analyze my teaching and business skills. Even with experience under my belt, I was able to learn so much about how to successfully run my business."
"Joy Morin's course is one I would highly recommend for any piano teacher. This course exceeded my expectations and in my opinion, was worth every penny."
Hi, I'm Joy. I believe that excellent piano pedagogy training should be accessible and readily available, especially in today's day and age. That is why I created the Piano Teacher Institute, creating opportunities for group coaching and peer interaction for studying material typically encountered in college-level piano pedagogy courses -- plus much more.
In an ideal world, piano teachers are thriving, active members of the profession and their community who produce progressing, capable students, and earn comfortable living while doing so. That is what my course, Excellence in Piano Teaching, is all about.
As you work through the course material, I'll be at your disposal to answer questions -- I'm just an email away! And you'll have fellow comrades in the Facebook group, too, cheering you on and ready to share about any topics you'd like to discuss.
You can learn more about my background HERE and check out my blog for piano teachers at ColorInMyPiano.com.
