Regain Control of Your Daily Digital Workspace
Work in a small group setting to regain control of six key areas in your daily digital workspace, including email, documents, media, and more. Amy will walk you through the process of clean-up, re-organization, and future mindset/upkeep.
This coaching series was great! Amy takes the huge topic of digital organization and breaks it down into MANAGEABLE TASKS, and the small group format makes it fun.
I am heading into this school year with my digital tools refreshed and streamlined.
~Kate Campbell
NOTE: This is an online small-group coaching program. Amy also holds an in-person version of this same program in her home in a retreat-style format during the Summer months. See more details here

They are basic things, but I didn’t know about so many of them! I learned a lot and will continue to learn as I review.
~Kim Oien

Amy is a highly organized, bright, and effective teacher. I learned so much from her Digital Organization course and would definitely take another course with her! She provides excellent value with her offerings.
~Paula Dreyer

The work from these workshops required a bit of upfront effort in exchange for mountains of organized and functional systems. I’m so glad I signed up for this!
~Jill Gilbert

I loved that Amy presented the information in a logical, sequential way and that we were able to implement the strategies she provided immediately!

If you have spent precious hours googling and figuring out settings and wondering why this works here but not on THAT device, or what in the world a certain type of drive is- or never heard of the proper way of organizing and labeling your files- then Amy’s course is for you! It is everything you need for your studio (and personal life) explained in such a way that as she screenshares, you can literally take out your phone and follow along. I love the conciseness of this course, and because it is piano teacher-to-piano-teacher we can understand how it all works!

Click on each question to reveal the answer.
How do I attend this online coaching?
This live online coaching series will take place on Zoom. After registering, you will receive a special link via email to enter the Zoom session. It is recommended you use a desktop or laptop computer to attend the Zoom sessions rather than a phone or tablet so that you can better see the screenshares.
What if I can’t attend the online Zoom sessions live? Will the sessions be recorded?
Yes! Replay videos will be available for three months. So if you have to miss some (or all) of the live workshop due to your schedule, the videos are there for you. However, to get the most from your expereince, it is recomended you clear your schedule to attend life at all possible. do recommend clearing your schedule if at all possible in order to be attend live and get the most out of your experience. You won’t regret it!
How often do you offer this online coaching series?
While there are no guarantees, at the moment, online sessions are offered twice a year – a winter session (roughly January – March once a week), and a Summer intensive (three full days). The same coaching series is also offered as part of a 3-day in-person teacher retreat in Amy’s home during the summer months (dates vary from year to year).
Do I need specific technical skills to participate?
No matter your comfort level with technology, you will feel comfortable participating.
I don’t have a computer – I only work from a phone and tablet. Is it for me?
While those who work primarily from a laptop or desktop will benefit most, I believe the content still applicable with the majority of the sessions. Just know there is ONE session completely dedicated to computers (desktop management and internet browsers). This is no discount if you don’t own a laptop or desktop.
