“Parents of new students often tell me how my approach to piano teaching is a breath of fresh air and how they wish their lessons had been this fun when they were young!”
M. Smith, BC, Canada
“Hi Andrea and Trevor, Just want to thank you for your great book. It has helped my students enjoy lessons more, and me to run my business more successfully. Piano Hands is truly the best book I have read on seeing lessons from the child’s and parents’ perspectives!”
Helena Pacholuk
“I am addicted to reading your daily blog everyday. So much so that the first thing I do is go to my computer to check my email for your blog!! You guys rock!”
Tina Federico, Toronto, Canada
“Piano Hands is the most inspiring teaching guide I have ever read. The key is in its practicality – exercises and ideas I can implement NOW. I have recently spent quite a bit of money on piano teaching handbooks and guides in search of practical ideas for my studio – NOTHING compares with Piano Hands!”
Nerida N., NSW, Australia
“Just wondering if you have any idea when (or if?) the sequel to Fearless Fortissimo is coming out? My son asks me to check the website several times a week just to make sure I haven’t missed it! He loves the pieces – they have really motivated him to get down to playing for
pleasure.”
Alison Cannon, UK
“Dear Trevor and Andrea, I recently purchased your book, “Piano Hands Shouldn’t Flip Burgers”. It is a GREAT book with so many great ideas. I like your perspective on so many issues facing piano teachers. Thank you!”
K. Warner, Owatonna, MN
“I just bought the book [Shhh...Your Piano Teacher Thinks This is Practice] and just quickly browsed through it before I have to leave for my board meeting this morning. How FUN is this?! What a creative idea, I love it! I’m looking forward to having my students use these daily practice activities!”
Jennifer Foxx, Goodyear AZ, USA
“Fearless Fortissimo: I have several students who dearly love this music. It is not just for boys! One of my ADD students has taken lessons for over 3 years. He never practiced and was difficult to teach because he ‘wandered’ here and there. I read the boook to him and it was just want the doctor ordered. He has played the songs in Early Elementary, then Elementary, and now Intermediate. His mom is making a costume of Fearless for spring recital. One girl’s mom is making a Silver Shriek costume. We will do a slide show during the music. Everyone is excited, but most importantly, they are practicing and having fun!
Jeannie Myers, USA
“I have been playing piano professionally for nearly 20 years, but I never had the confidence to teach. Where to begin? After reading this book, I feel as though someone just handed me a secret treasure map… And that’s exactly what it is! Thank you Andrea and Trevor.”
Charlie S., New Jersey, USA
“With the guidance and materials provided by Andrea and Trevor, teaching piano to little kids is a thousand times easier than I expected.”
K. Costello, BC, Canada
“My husband and I are facing a lot of changes all at once: moving to Chicago, he’s starting a PhD program, and we’re having our first baby in two months. On top of it all, I need to find some kind of employment that will supplement his stipend and not keep me away from our baby all day. Having studied and loved piano my whole life, and seeing as I’m inheriting a beautiful 6′ Steinway, I thought this might be a good time to consider teaching. I wasn’t sure I’d have what it takes to start a piano teaching business. I’m six chapters into your book and have poured over your website. I’m so encouraged and excited about this prospect. I’m writing to tell you how your material is impacting me in my situation, and thank you for being creative and productive with your expertise and “putting it out there” for someone like me. I am an eager listener of all you can offer.”
Rebecca Fort, Evanston, Illinois
“There are so many great things i could say about your website, blog, books and music. But for now, I would like to say you have changed my life and my studio. I have 22 students. I was months from making a decision to shut it down completely, and now I am expanding. I am 34 but was teaching like my teacher did when I was 4. I am now free. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
Jennifer, USA
“I was hypnotized by your eBook. It is one of the most straight-forward piano teaching guides I’ve ever read. You provide detailed explanations and step by step instruction. Thanks again for this great eBook!”
Johanes M., Surabaya, Indonesia
“You people are wonderful. I would love to meet you someday. What a great story and great book. I just read the whole book the minute I got it. Ok I skimmed through for now. I’m 60 and I’ve played piano most of my life and just started teaching about 4 years ago. SO much to learn. Thank you.”
Mike Winston, USA
“I recently purchased your Piano Hands e-book – which I have thoroughly loved! Thank you, thank you for all of your wonderful ideas. I am getting ready to open a new studio, after a seven year break from teaching, and I’m always looking for ways to keep teaching fun and exciting – for both myself and the students. There is so much more available now than there was 17 years ago.
”
J. Martindale, USA
“A great “how-to” guide for teaching piano lessons. Andrea and Trevor have done their homework when it comes to teaching a teacher the essentials. They cover all the vital information from finding new students and creating policies, to choosing lesson books that will excite students!”
Robyn P., Oregon, USA
“Yes, yes, yes! Thanks for an outstanding guide! I just began teaching 3 months ago and already have 30+ students.”
Jeremy S., Idaho, USA
“Hi! My students and I have been enjoying your book:) Thank you for the great approach and music!”
Rachel Luecke, United States
“Fearless Fortssimo is a hit with the boys at my studio! When I see their glossy eyes with that far away look of boredom, I bring out the comic book that brings them back to piano. Boys who have a hard time working on their weekly assignments learn the music for Fearless Fortissimo in a week, hands together, perfect rhythm and dynamics! I really believe Fearless Fortissimo has kept at least 2 boys from dropping out last semester! Thank you for this great idea!”
Dorla Aparicio, USA
“I have been using the WunderKeys Piano Program for a few of my youngest students since February 2012 and it is going very well! The books move along at an appropriate pace and keeps them interested with the cute “finger friends” and stories. I’ve tried other methods with young students before and they usually get frustrated when they are pushed to move too fast or to learn things that they aren’t ready for, so I like how this program is developmentally appropriate and focuses on concepts that will also help them with math down the line. Music should be fun for little ones, and this program gives them lots of opportunity to play and learn at the same time!”
Kristine Gee, Burnsville, MN
“Andrea and Trevor, I can’t find all the words to tell you how grateful I am to discover both of you, so I’ll just express a few. What a great empowering team and fantastic role models you are for all of us. It’s always the simple things in life that mean the most – a simple smile, a simple nod to doing well, a simple word of encouragement. Thank you for sharing your ideas with us!”
Cheryl Bisho, California
