  • End the Battle!

    As a parent I’ve gone through the battle with my kids, and as I kid I battled with my parents over practicing piano, so I really wish I’d had this resource! I’m so grateful for all the tips Shelly has taught that are helping me enjoy my time at the piano.

  • Shelly Davis is the real deal!

    Many parents want their child to be able to play the piano, but we all know that it takes just as much work from the parent as it does from the kiddo. This podcast is chock full of practical info on building piano playing skills, but I love that there are also episodes devoted to supporting and encouraging the parent on how to hang in there when your kiddo wants to quit. Bravo!

PPP 358: Helping Parents Frame Music as a Gift, Not a Chore with Crystal Boyack
Q: Can you talk just a little bit more about how parents can let go of that feeling of trying to keep up with the other kids?
It's important to recognize that we are not our kids, and we provide an environment of learning but we cannot control their choices.
Find the Joy in Little Things, a parent interview with Crystal Boyack
Q: What does success at music mean to you and your family?
Success is connected to the changing 'why' behind music; it involves breaking down big tasks into smaller steps so children can experience accomplishment in their musical journey.
