12:00 Q: I have an 11 year old beginner who I have introduced to Get Set Piano alongside Piano Safari pieces and techniques, rhythm, notation and sightreading card games. He loves it all! Every week he returns online he is well-practiced and perfected pieces I have given him. We are coming to the end of book 1 and I wondered if moving onto Get Set book 2 is just going to be too easy and worried he will lose interest. Could you suggest a pathway I could go down to maintain his interest and enthusiasm, please?

21:45 Q: I would like to know what sort of games/activities teachers are using to help engage the students. I’ve been using clap-backs and playbacks (keeping it nice and simple, like always starting on middle C and they play back) I was wondering if there was anything else that doesn’t require me being able to use the fancy features on the computer to play with.
28:07 Q: I dont teach for exams but I do want my students to have a good technique. I’m worried that teaching scales, exercises and studies will be too boring, they won't practice and will lose interest. What do you suggest?
