  • My Favorite Walking Companion

    I love listening to Christina speak about all things piano teaching. She often adds insights to topics that I thought I had fully fleshed out. She also brings up issues that I didn't know existed until I heard about them.

    While you may not be able to be everyone's friend in real life, you can certainly influence a lot of people through an insightful podcast. Thank you!

  • Never Miss!

    I always appreciate Christina’s insight - even if it’s not something immediately relevant to my teaching life at the moment.

  • Real. Honest. Piano Teacher Talk

    I love Christina’s honest , easy-going talks, and I love how she shares her wisdom in such a wide variety of piano teacher topics. She really is a & cheerleader of us, piano teachers! Listening each week makes me feel like we are hanging out at a coffee shop and diving in to teacher talk. I’ve gained both practical applications that I can use quickly with my studio, business perspectives , and insights into how to deal with a wide variety of communication/parent/student needs in the studio.
