Hello, readers!
Just a quick post for today, encouraging you to check out my friend Susan Hong’s brand new website, SusanHong.com. I’ve had the honor of helping Susan out with her website and other technology-related topics for a few years now. She is not only a wonderful artist and piano teacher, but an all-around wonderful person and friend!
Here’s a picture of Susan and I, taken during the 2016 MTNA conference in her hometown, San Antonio, Texas!
Susan has posted a few items of interest on her new website so far, but I would especially encourage you to check out her Musical Mandala Coloring Book PDF. When you purchase the download, you’re getting a studio license allowing you to print as needed for your own students. I’ve already downloaded and printed a few copies to place in my studio for my students to enjoy coloring in my waiting room area.
There’s a limited time sale going on now. Don’t miss checking out Susan’s mandalas by clicking HERE!
A couple of weeks ago, I came across a wonderful little online shop called The Practice Shoppe.
Leslie, the owner, is a Suzuki violin teacher/mom. She sells a variety of fun things in her shop to help make lessons and practice fun for students.
I ordered a few of her wonderful music dice, which are just begging to be used for some music games! I’ll be sharing about a new game tomorrow.

Piano PedagogyI’m also tossing around the idea of allowing readers to write and submit reviews of books for publication on Color In My Piano. If interested, please contact me at admin[at]colorinmypiano.com. There’s no way I’d be able to review all of these books anytime soon, so I’d love to have some help!

Susan Paradis from the Piano Teacher Resources blog has written has excellent review of the The Perfect Start for Piano by Kevin & Julia Olson, a series of books intended for reinforcing note-reading on the staff for beginners and elementary level students.

The Perfect Start for Piano also has a corresponding website, theperfectstartforpiano.com, which provides additional FREE resources for the teacher and student. Check it out and you will find:
This week, I recently stumbled upon some great blogs about piano teaching to add to my blogroll. Some are new, and other have been around for a while, but they all have wonderful things to share!
Jen’s Piano Studio Blog – lots of game ideas and free resources.
I just discovered some fun resources at the Piano Technicians Guild website – check them out! One highlight is an activity for students to cut out and put together a 3D-ish piano out of paper. It’s pretty realistic!
