"It's like Mario Cart. 3,2,1!
"Less talk, more action!"
"The Missing Link!"
Qi Chen'sĀ students were struggling withĀ just sittingĀ at the piano and reading the notes.Ā She tried Whole Body Learning initially with her lovely son and was amazed at how quicklyĀ he learnt new concepts, and how focusedĀ and motivatedĀ he was to get it right! They both embraced this new approach.
Piano Teacher: Qi Chen
Kids are tired after a long day at school and need a break from teachers talking all the time. Incorporating movement activitiesĀ alongside music playingĀ is a welcome relief for everyone! Trina's online student pickedĀ piecesĀ upĀ more quickly and had better memory retention with WBL.
Piano Teacher: Katrina Panitz
Roya had long been searchingĀ for 'the missing link' to ensure students could remember what theyĀ played in lessons.Ā When she discovered Whole Body Learning, her fun percussion activity captivatedĀ a student so much that she didn't careĀ how difficult the music looked!
Piano Teacher: Roya Halavati
Step it up in 2025 and inject new excitement and enthusiasm intoĀ teaching beginners!

"I guess I can do something new!"
I began the course knowing I needed to wake both myself and my students up from our boredom! The music with tracks made me think how I could do that! So, I made rhythm cards and added music, practiced with students, and then asked parents to join the last ten minutes of class when we played games. All ended up leaving with smiles and laughter! I guess I can do something new!Ā Thank you!!!

"PTS' suggestions bring not only success but FUN in the classroom."
As a teacher of well over 40 years, with a background in teaching classes with loads of singing, body movement, rhythm movement etc. you might think why is Patricia attending these classes? The answer is simple. Not only is this a reminder of all that I have taught, but there are many new ideas and twists on the old practices that are extremely valuable. Just because I'm old doesn't mean that I cannot join the new revolution in teaching which is had taken the best of the past and added marvelous new processes. Today's teaching using Piano Teaching Success's suggestions brings not only success but FUN in the classroom.
- Patricia Crane, USA
"This workshop was inspiring and energising."
This workshop was inspiring and energising, just what was needed to feel I can confidently teach this current tech-savvy generation with an approach that will excite them, reach them on their level, and open the way for them to experience the joy of music making.
- Andrea Simmonds, New Zealand
"I found this workshop to be a great inspiration to try out different approaches to teaching my students."

"I've noticed students learn more effectively when FULLY engaged. The Whole Body Learning concepts presented just confirmed and gave a name to my observations. That was affirming and I appreciated ideas shared in the sessions, to apply immediately in my classes."
Yukiko Egawa, USA
"Creating my own video for the homework assignment was very challenging for me, but the participation was the key of the active learning. I learned a lot from this workshop. Thank you very much."
Carol Biffle, USA
"Thank you for this course on Whole Body Learning. I feel like I'm just scratching the surface on a comprehensive and holistic approach to teaching music to young children who are beginners.Ā Many of the core ideas could be adapted and applied to older learners who are not beginners."
