@spencerfry @podia Thanks for sharing! I couldn’t be happier with the Podia platform.

Our customers inspire me all the time, so I want to start sharing more about what they do with @podia. Joseph D'Amico (@flexlessons) moved to teaching classical piano online and ended up building an innovative business model. 1/

@JordanPAnderson This is totally true. I managed to get monetized and it literally is pennies.

Here's 6 things worth knowing If you or your kids plan to study piano at some point. #ship30for30 #piano

When it comes to playing piano for others, how you play often matters more than what you play. #piano #pianoplaying #pianopractice #ship30for30

@JordanPAnderson Will do. I am familiar with him.

@flexlessons Check out Rick Beato. He does guitar licks. You could do the same for piano. 🎸

I took my most popular YouTube video with over 100,000 views and turned it into my first $1,000 as a course creator. Here's how I would do it in 2022...👇👇

Figuring out when to fully memorize music vs when to rely on a score is an important part of practicing and playing the piano. #piano #pianopractice #pianoplaying #ship30for30

@rudiseitz One thing that helped me get there is that I decided my practice needs to feel effortless or there is something I need to fix or change (usually tempo but sometimes scope of practice). Anyways, this speaks to me.

@rudiseitz When you arrived at the "patient, supportive, always ready to help" point of thinking about your instrument, I can relate, as I have arrived there on piano as well.

I've written a short piece about how I tackle inaction. I talk about what successful people do and how I've tried to mirror them. Agree? Disagree? Got tools or systems of your own to share?

When you are learning to play an instrument, don't be so particular about what songs you play, especially in the beginning. Think of every piece of music as a puzzle to be solved. #piano #pianoplaying #pianopracticing #ship30for30

@jillmetcalfe Oh yes. Choir experience, especially at a young age, can help immensely.

@flexlessons This is great advice. It also fits with my Church Choir Theory of Popular Songwriting(tm) which is that most of the great songwriters sang in church choirs as children, which gave them an instinctive grasp of harmony and melody.

People often ask about how to learn piano music from movies, video games, and musicals. Here’s my best advice. #piano #classicalpiano #pianopractice #ship30for30
