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.
