It’s been a rough winter! Piano teachers have dealt with snow, ice rain, flooding and power outages. If you are one of the thousands of piano teachers looking at your list of cancelled lessons and wondering how you are ever going to deal with the fallout, take heart. Just ask Bach for help!
In just 1.5-2 hours you can wipe away your winter weather make-up list, create connections and a sense of community within your studio, give your piano kids a great learning opportunity and generate some word of mouth buzz. And the best part? You hardly have to do a thing yourself!
Give Bach a Snow Shovel… And Clear Away Your Winter Make-Up List
Bach’s birthday is coming up at the end of March, making it the perfect time to have some fun with Music History, throw Bach a Birthday Party… and dig yourself out of those snow day make-ups!
Happy Birthday Bach is our Piano Party guide designed to give you 2 hours worth of music-history themed activities for a group of up to 10 multi-age students. We’ve planned party-themed games that teach your kiddos about this important composer, and give them the opportunity to participate in a Bach-themed masterclass. There’s a multitude of fun activities, a craft, a great plan for a snack… and even some super cute party invitations you can use to wow your piano parents!
When it comes to winter weather make-ups there’s no simple way to start fresh for the spring without losing income to refunds or time to make-ups. And… if you’re lucky enough to live somewhere where snow is something only found in books… this piano party is an easy way to generate some extra income. So, gather your piano kids together, give a great sense of value to your parents and have some fun!
Happy Birthday Bach is $11.99 and can be found here. It includes all of the instructions and printables you need to throw a group piano party.

My solution is FaceTime! I just finished an afternoon of lessons and learned a lot about what kind of instruments they are playing on and the general home practice environment. Very informative!

My problem has been flu cancellations!
Kevin Smith says
What are cancellation policies for eventualities like this? Surely make up lessons are a rod for your own back? If the teacher was ill then they don’t get paid, but surely if a student is ill then the teacher should still get paid for the missed slot?
Andrea says
Hi Kevin – it depends on the teacher. The majority do still charge for missed lesson time that is caused by the student cancelling. In issues with weather, however, and days where roads are closed due to snow then teachers usually do feel responsible to make-up lessons. This group lesson is an easy way to look after many of those make-up lessons without having to spend hours doing to! 🙂
