Shauna discovered Whole Body Learning and decided, 'we're going to do some of that!'

I have a student this week who came in and announced "I'm feeling a little hyper today" and proceeded to run a couple of laps around the studio. 😳😬 In the past, I would have given up on the lesson right then and just hope we all survived 'til it was over. But not this time! This time I thought 'I know what to do with you!'.

We did some body solfege, pulled out the drums, and even incorporated his running into the learning for that day. He had so much fun, actually learned something, and loved it! He was happy, and that made me happy.

Whole Body Learning for the win!!! Thanks, everyone, for sharing your awesome ideas!

Catherine started using a multi-sensory approach and her student started improving and now loves playing!

"I use a lot of Whole Body Learning in my teaching. I am teaching the son of my first piano teacher and he has some learning difficulties. She only teaches reading so she found it difficult to teach him.

I have been using Whole Body Learning with him and he has been having a lot of fun. I am very proud of him because he is improving and loves it!"

After 40 years of teaching Michelle started using Whole Body Learning and her students are learning faster!

Before (joining The Studio) I felt like I was flying by the seat of my pants really. If I ran into a situation with a student I was literally thinking as I was going along, 'What can I do? Let's do this? Let's do that?' Just dealing with everything as it happened. I couldn't write a lesson plan because it just never worked with these children. If he or she was having an off day it was terrible. So it was just very frustrating.

The Studio has totally turned things around. These kids are loving it! They are doing rhythms I didn't think they would ever do. They're singing along. They know their Do, Re Mi's. They can sing it on pitch. It's been awesome!

I have one child in particular... Every week when we finish our lesson he says to me...

"Mrs Olsen, this was the best lesson ever!"

After 40 years of teaching Michelle started using Whole Body Learning and her students are learning faster!

"I have been teaching for 40 years but this course gave me lots of new ideas to refresh my teaching approach. In particular, it showed me just how much benefit there can be in doing varied activities away from the piano. Before the start of this course, I just had my beginners tapping and clapping and occasionally singing solfege whilst still sitting on the piano bench. Now I am getting them up, using the floor the walls and any other hard surfaces I can find plus all the percussion instruments (even bowls and spoons) to work on rhythms and chimes and a glockenspiel to play out the melodies. They are all loving the new style and by the time they sit at the piano and try it for the second time, they have usually mastered the piece sufficiently to be able to play with a backing track at practice speed."

We know only too well the consequences when students don't practice…

The student gets bored and wants to quit.
The parents don't see any progress and think they are wasting their money.
Parents who are happy with zero progress and you feel like a glorified babysitter.
We feel a failure because we haven’t been able to reach and inspire our students.
