One of my favorite things to do is visit other piano teachers’ websites. You can catch a glimpse into their studios, read how they word their policies, get creative ideas for use in your own studio, and generally feel somewhat connected to all of your colleagues in the world of music teaching. So…I was thinking it would be neat to put together a page with a listing of piano [or any instrument, really!] teachers and their websites.
If you’d be interested in including your website in this listing, just leave a comment below or send me a quick e-mail with your website link and what state/province or country you’re in. I’ll post the complete list as a page here on Music Matters Blog and also make it available as a free PDF so that you can print it off, use it in technology workshops, etc. There are still lots of teachers who are interested in setting up websites, but haven’t yet, so I think this will be a great resource to help those who want ideas of what to include on their sites. And even those of us who already have websites I’m sure will find great ideas and inspiration from others that we can incorporate into our studio sites!
[As an aside, there are quite a few parents that come across this blog when looking for piano teachers, so I think this will be a helpful way to get your studio name and website out to potential students as well!]
What a great idea! I’ll start:
My studio website: http://campbellpianostudio.com
I’m in Virginia.
My website is: http://www.foxxpianostudio.com
I also have a blog for my piano families to show pics etc… of what we’ve been up to: http://www.foxxpianostudio.blogspot.com
I’m in Arizona
This is a fantastic idea! I love looking at other teacher’s sites to see what everyone does.

I recently started posting up materials I make for my studio (games, flash cards, worksheets) as free downloads. I get so many ideas and resources from other teachers sites, I decided last fall it was time to give a little back!
I’m in Kansas City.
Hi Natalie,

Hi Natalie!
I’ve been “lurking” on your blog for a couple of months now, and I just love your ideas and willingness to share! I’ve been teaching for 2 years now, and just completely created my website from scratch after learning how to code!! I’m starting a blog as well, so I’d love to gain blogging ideas from fellow teachers!
Thanks!

Hi Natalie,
This is great. Now if only we could create a national piano teacher’s conference!
My site: http://www.mainstreetmusicking.com
(after Christopher Small’s ‘musicking’)
I have just created a blog, so it is pretty bare, but it is http://www.mainstreetmusicking.blog.com.

I have a website site but not a blog. Maybe I should now that Natalie inspires me so much!
Oh, I didn’t realize my website does not show when I put it in the “website” field. Here it goes:
http://www.mccoolpiano.com
I’m in Portland, Oregon and enjoy teaching adults of all levels. I’m at http://www.MeganHughes.net This web site is my primary means of attracting them. I don’t get many contacts about kids’ lessons this way, although I like to maintain a diverse studio. Maybe I need a different site for that?
Hi there my cute friend! I would love to be included.
Thank you for eveything you do!!
I love looking at other teacher websites. It gives me good ideas that I might not have thought about. And I love your blog. THANK YOU! I have come to it many times for group ideas. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I’m just getting my studio restarted after moving to Norman, OK. I’ve put together a website/blog & I am also using Facebook and Twitter as part of the circle. I’m still working out the kinks and the best way to integrate it all (And make each valuable) but here’s the info so far:
Website/Blog: http://normanpianolessons.com
Twitter: http://twitter.com/thetaylorstudio
Facebook: http://bit.ly/cZfAvh (It’s a way too long address until I hit my 25 fans!)
Thanks for everything you do on this site – it’s been a great resource!
