And…we’re back! After a Summer off from our weekly finds series here on Piano Pantry, it’s time to jump back in! If you missed the final Friday Finds back in June, #100 was a list of a whopping 100 of the best items from the two years the series had been running. From here on out, they will be titled by what week of finds it is, so here we are starting at week #101.
If you’re new to this series, every Friday I share links to interesting things I love from all over the web. I’m a content junkie and use Feedly to follow over 100 websites of a variety of topics. Friday Finds is the best of what I’ve found out there each week.
Friday Finds isn’t all about music teaching, because we’re not just music teachers! Each week there are generally between 8-12 items on the list that may include but is not limited to: thought-provoking articles, interesting podcasts, yummy recipes, books, useful piano teaching tools, a few of my favorite things, and much, much more.
Let’s go!
1
Song stories. As Mike Rowe says in episode #108” of his podcast The Way I Heard It…
These words take on a whole new meaning once you know the story behind why they were written.
2
If it’s as inspiring as her first book The Nesting Place, Myquillen Smith’s newest book Cozy Minimalist Home: More Style, Less Stuff is sure to be a winner. Put it on pre-order as I did!
3
Guinness opened it’s first brewery 64 years ago.
4
Why learning to breathe may be the best way to pray.
5
If you have any peaches left in your life from Summer, you have got to make this Amazing Peach Cobbler from Pinch of Yum. Oh my, oh my.
I have about a dozen bags of frozen peaches in my deep freeze, many of which are destined for this cobbler.

In the Facebook group Piano Teacher Central Facebook, Nicole Douglas shared a resource document she put together on what people can do to Donate a Piano.
This is a great resource to share with your studio families or anyone who asks you about how to sell or get rid of their piano.
7
Mr. Roger’s extraordinary 9 rules for writing scripts that helped kids make sense of language.
8
Break out the grill one more time for these Grilled Rice Krispies Treats.
9
While searching online for some things regarding Music Learning Theory (I can’t remember exactly what it was), I came across this video on Piaget’s Theory of Conservation. This demonstration is absolutely fascinating.
Happy Friday, everyone!
