Vanessa Munns, a Group Piano University graduate, lives in Beacon, a tiny farming community in the Central Wheat Belt of Western Australia. She drives up to 300km a day to teach. She has rebuilt her studio from scratch - twice - after drought wiped it out. She went through the pandemic having just had her ability to teach in state schools taken away overnight.
She was told you can't make a proper job out of teaching piano.
It's been a busy few weeks here as Paul and I have been doing pre-enrolment chats with piano teachers for Group Training University. What's surprised me is that so many teachers have done other courses that exist out there on group piano teaching, but still haven't taught their first group!

Have you ever lost a student? Maybe they didn’t stop loving music but life just got in the way?
