986: Lauren Pierce on how to learn a piece

Lauren Pierce is a double bassist and educator who has put together a cool guide titled 6 Steps to Learning A New Piece.  In this episode, we dive into each of these steps and why it’s important in the preparatory process of learning a new piece.  We also catch up on a variety of topics in this fun conversation with a longtime friend and colleague.

Pick up a copy of the guide here, and be sure to give Lauren a follow on Instagram and YouTube.  You can also check out prior podcasts with Lauren here.

693: Elisa Janson Jones on online learning

We’re chatting with past podcast guest Elisa Janson Jones today.  I had the chance to spend some time in person with her during the NAMM Show in January 2020, and I was interested in learning about how she has been handling the current pandemic, with its many challenges and opportunities.

Elisa wears many hats: entrepreneur, author, educator, host of the Music Ed Mentor Podcast, and the founder of the International Music Education Summit.

We cover all kinds of online teaching topics in this helpful conversation, which Elisa also published on her podcast.  Enjoy!
