Resources for Group & Solo Piano Lessons : Online & In-Person

Talking Wheels

We created the Talking Wheels activity to give our students a chance to socialize in our online group lessons. We select a subject from the Talking Wheels menu: - All About You * All About School * All About Piano * All About Today * All About Christmas

Then we spin that subject’s wheel to decide what we are going to talk about. I usually go first, and share something funny or exciting which motivates the students to share their answers/thoughts on the topic. This week, we will be spinning the “All About Christmas” wheel so everyone can share about the Christmas break.
This works really well - especially with our elementary school students who love to share about pretty much anything - especially if they haven’t practiced that week 😁. (Sometimes it works too well, and we have to be careful that the activity doesn’t take up too much time of the 40-minute lesson!) We find it’s important to encourage social interactions to build friendships and help the students to feel comfortable with each other.

There is also a flashcard version for those who don't use PowerPoint. Just shuffle the cards and have each student pick one to talk about.

​​When we were in-person, it was common to hear students say things like “Wednesday is the best day of the week because of piano class”. As we will be staying online for some time yet, we work hard to keep piano class days as “the best day of the week” for our kiddos. 😊
