NEW Release: Teaching Adult Group Classes - Two expert-led sessions. One complete roadmap.
Teaching adults in group piano classes requires a different mindset, different expectations, and a flexible, human-centered approach. This two-session course pairs practical pedagogy with a real-world teaching demonstration to help you confidently design, market, and lead engaging group piano experiences for adult beginners.
What’s Inside This Course
Session 1: Teaching Piano to Adults — with Marcy Davis
Explore the unique characteristics of adult learners and how they differ from children. This session covers why adults can be incredibly rewarding students, how to market effectively to them, and realistic strategies for retention, flexibility, and curriculum choices—grounded in a reality-based approach that prioritizes enjoyment, sustainability, and long-term engagement.
Session 2: Full Teaching Demonstration — with Eliana Corredor
Watch real excerpts from Eliana’s first-ever group piano classes for adult beginners. She walks through her planning process for a Recreational Music-Making (RMM) program, sharing candid reflections on what worked, what didn’t, and what she would refine next time. You’ll gain actionable insights on logistics, equipment, marketing, curriculum, and class flow—from the perspective of a teacher transitioning from one-on-one to group teaching.
Who This Course Is For
Teachers curious about adding adult group piano to their studio
Private teachers transitioning into group formats
Educators seeking a low-pressure, wellness-focused approach for adult beginners
✅ Outcome: You’ll leave with clear strategies, realistic expectations, and the confidence to launch—or refine—a thriving group piano program for adult learners.
