I find Nancy's teaching style very inspiring and full of ideas presented in a logical order on how to liven up lessons even if I don't use the Faber books with all students. Next I suggest browsing the game resource list (tab at the top) to choose activities specific to the concepts you are teaching each week. My favorite activity links are on the "Spicing Up..." Tab at the top, but just like pinterest, I find the wealth of piano teaching blogger's ideas so fascinating that its easy to get sucked in for hours :) Probably my most used printable tools are a simple staff/keyboard printable in a sheet protector (Susan Paradis.com) and my silly putty rhythm beat boards (Pianimation.com). Good Luck and Happy Teaching!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11510660290875713795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1081903506390868358.post-59031290971462465872015-03-25T07:12:18.747-06:002015-03-25T07:12:18.747-06:00Hi Heidi, I just came across your blog and I'...Hi Heidi, I just came across your blog and I'm really excited to have a resource that has some many great ideas. I just started teaching piano lessons this year and am now up to 12 students. I've been looking to spice up lessons a bit by incorporating some activities instead of just working straight through the books. There are A LOT of resources on this site, and I'm finding myself easily overwhelmed and don't know where to start. How do you suggest I get started? Any absolute must-have resources, games, ideas? Feel free to email me if that is easier: chelseejensen@hotmail.com. Thanks!!!Chelseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12823954464686121335noreply@blogger.com
