What’s the secret to building a life-long connection to music? In today’s episode, we’re sharing the presentation that I gave at Nicola Cantan’s Teacher Turboboost event this year titled “Why playing with others helped me play for life.” We’re going to unpack one of the key factors, I believe, that contributes to students forming a love and a life-long connection to music and some concrete examples of how you can apply it to your own students and studio.
- Our mission at TopMusic.
- Memories of my musical activities during my teenage years.
- One common factor in all of my musical memories.

Words well said, a great inspiration
Thanks for your comment, Piano Moving Nashville! Great to have you as a reader 🙂
Very nice – specially the mention of “Playing with Others helps you playing for life” – this means musical counterparts are required to make this a long lasting Passion
Hi Monish – yes, that’s exactly my thinking. The more we can get kids out of individual rooms and playing with others, the better 🙂 Thanks for your comment!
