How I Became a Piano Teacher

[@Charlie-f9s]

Very inspiring story Alyson. You are doing a great job! I’m an adult learner. I started taking piano lessons again after many years of “learning” on my own. My teacher is great and I enjoy playing now more than ever. As you mentioned, you can only teach so much in 30 minutes. Your YT videos fill in the gaps for me. Thank you. 😊

Congrats on getting to 500+ subscribers! Good luck for more success. Your point about formal teaching in music theory changed and advanced you...I'd like to hear more about that. What do you really mean by using/understanding music theory other than identifying chord progressions and finding repeating patterns? And, since I'm no longer in high school so I can't take an AP Music Theory class, I'd like to hear some suggestions for adult, late beginner piano players to learn and discover what you did. I enjoyed your video and your story...I'll tune in when you produce more. I'll comment that having someone in your house who is about to throw a chair at a piano is scary and outrageous.

Thanks for the comment and feedback! I hope to create more videos that cater toward your questions! Glad to hear from you!

Interesting journey, Alyson. Really cool to hear about your epiphany with the student. Seems like you made the right choice -- you are a great teacher on video, and probably better with your in-person students.

Merci. Sounds like you're at the start of your journey. Maybe you should look at further education in music and piano? Never stop learning.
