Just a quick invitation to consider joining me and my colleague-friend, Amy Chaplin, at the Reach and Rise Virtual Conference taking place July 29-31, 2026. Amy and I will be presenting a session on Thursday the 30th at 10am Central. Our session is titled: Notion: The Everything App You Didn’t Know You Needed.
If you’ve read my past blog posts about Notion and have been curious to learn more about how Amy and I both use Notion as music professionals, this might be the perfect opportunity! Plus, Elizabeth Gutierrez, the organizer of this conference, has a variety of great sessions and speakers lined up for this event, as you’ll see on the event schedule:
- Dr. Scott McBride Smith
- Phyllis Alpert Lehrer
- Amy Chaplin
- Joy Morin
- Leila Viss
- Mona Rejino
- Catharine Lysinger
Topics covered include: reading, technique, musicality, artistry, expression, performing, parent communication, and studio management with tools like Notion and Canva. Replay recordings are provided in the event that you can’t watch all the sessions live.
Early bird pricing ends Monday, July 6. View the schedule and register now HERE. (Full disclosure: This is an affiliate link — thanks for supporting my work!)
Joy, I feel like I know you even though we’ve never met! Your teaching resources and ideas have been such an inspiration for me and my students over the years (my latest favorite is your Musician’s practice planner- I had most of my students purchase them last fall.).
Thanks for doing what you do! Looking forward to your next project/resource/inspiration for us teachers!
What a kind and friendly comment — thank you, Shannon! I hope we will meet one day perhaps at a conference! Thank you such much for following my blog and for using my Musician’s Practice Planner most recently. I’m thrilled to hear you and your students are enjoying them!!
Thanks, Joy, for posting about the “Reach and Rise” Conference – Piano Teacher Academy’s 7th biennial summer conference (July 29-31). So excited (!) about this year’s lineup of presenters, and especially your and Amy’s Notion presentation for all things “studio organization.” Looking forward to learning some good tips for my own Notion app use. Quick note to readers: General registration will continue after July 6 all the way through the Conference dates and attendees do not need to attend the LIVE webinars, because you get unlimited access to the replays! Interest-free payment plans available, too. Hope to see many of you there! ?
Thanks for the note with the additional details, Elizabeth! Looking forward to the event!
