In a perfect world, piano teachers everywhere would be able to attend conferences in any location, and bring well-known pedagogues and composers like Wendy to our local music associations for a live workshop. But if you’re like me, my season of life and my budget make those trips and workshops out of reach for now.
But that’s the beautiful thing about our digital age – we can easily bring research-backed and curated workshops with Wendy Stevens to our local music teachers’ chapter, to the classroom, or even to our living room! And now you can purchase the workshop for the amount of viewers you’ll actually have, whether it’s just you watching, 2-5 teachers, or all the way up to 16+ teachers watching together!
We’re Suffering From Lack of Connection!
A few years ago, the surgeon general observed that loneliness and social isolation are destructive forces that threaten our lives, our communities, and even the future of democracy. And it’s not news to piano teachers that this is especially found in our piano teaching community. We are often teaching in isolation and our busy schedules make it very difficult to make easy choices to get together with our teaching friends.
We have to make time to be together.
And a group viewing opportunity for a quality piano teaching workshop is the perfect excuse to get together!
Why are group viewing packages needed?
Wendy receives a lot of invitations for both in-person and online workshops. She’s given extremely practical and helpful workshops (and highly rated – just read the reviews on each product page!) that include topics that the 21st century teacher needs to know about. She’s giving workshops for 3 state conferences this year, but realistically, since she’s busy composing and running ComposeCreate®, there’s only so much time to be traveling and giving live presentations.
For local associations or small groups of teachers, live workshops and seminars are much more expensive than recorded workshops, we’ve created the ability for teachers to purchase the workshops according to the size of your group!
How much money does this save?
Let’s break down what it usually costs to bring in a live presenter for a workshop:
- $600 speaking fee for one workshop
- $400-800 for airfare
- $300 – hotel and meals
- Conservative grand total for local association of: $1,300
And here’s the price for an online recorded workshop with Wendy Stevens, which includes a handout and extras for your group to take notes and have a discussion:
- Individual teacher: $49
- Group of 10 teachers: $200
- Group of 15 teachers: $300
- Group of 16 or more teachers: $350
Needless to say, a recorded workshop with Wendy Stevens is a tremendous value with great savings – and you won’t sacrifice hearing directly about topics piano teachers desperately need to hear about most!
A few more benefits of group viewings:
- You’ll foster camaraderie, avoid teaching burnout, and leave feeling invigorated.
- Only pay for the amount of attendees you know you’ll have, for even greater savings.
- Helpful PDF handouts are also included, for even more potential for community-building between teachers.
- Professional Development Certificates included
