Had a super fun time co-presenting yesterday with Had a super fun time co-presenting yesterday with my friend @amychaplinpiano (with a cameo appearance by baby Brenna 😂) for my local MTNA chapter, the Ann Arbor Area Piano Teachers Guild. We spoke on 5 principles from Edwin E. Gordon’s Music Learning Theory (MLT) that piano teachers can incorporate into their lessons. To top it off, we enjoyed lunch together afterwards at Zingerman’s!
