Welcome to episode 125 of the Piano Pantry Podcast. I’m your host, Amy Chaplin, an independent piano teacher whose mission is to help you lead a vibrant, fulfilling teacher life.

Every few episodes, I like to chat with teachers like you. Today, you’ll hear from six teachers who attended my digital organization retreat, which takes place every summer in my home in Indiana.

We had fun squeezing in and chatting around the new student work table in my studio, where my homeschool families sit and do work while their siblings take lessons, and students sit to do theory work and draw while waiting on their sibling’s lessons.

By the way, I have a new studio tour blog post that is getting ready to go up soon on the Piano Pantry blog, where you’ll get to see my newly finished studio space and some of the new furniture I spent hours researching and loving. If you want to be sure and catch that, join my email list at PianoPantry.com/subscribe

Enjoy this episode with my new teacher friends!

Episode Wrap-Up

Thanks so much to Michelle, Jeanine, Trudi, Mary, Krysta, and Becky for being willing to share their experience with you today. I especially loved getting to hear their random life tips.

Do you have a fun random life tip to share? I would love to feature it on the podcast—it could be anything!

You can send me a voicemail at any time by clicking the link at the bottom of the show notes. Speaking of the show notes, during the retreat, one of the attendees was asking me how she could get to the podcast review area. It’s not that intuitive, so here’s how: In Apple podcasts, go into the show – not just inside an individual episode – and scroll almost all the way to the bottom. There’s a small bit of text written in purple just below where the large Ratings & Reviews header is located. You can easily rate the podcast and also write a review if you like.

Thanks to all who have taken the time thus far to share the podcast in this way. Thanks for being here, and I’ll see you next week!
