“Have You Forgotten What It’s Like to be a Child?”
Online Workshop
It’s been anywhere from 10 to 70 years since any of us have been a child, so it’s pretty certain that all piano and music teachers have forgotten at least some of what it’s like to be a child. Because we’ve forgotten, we get frustrated when our students don’t do what we want. We scratch our heads, then buy all kinds of programs, books, and incentives that don’t really address the underlying issue.
But there’s help! I used to struggle to compose exciting elementary music until I learned these 5 characteristics of children. I found that they apply just as readily to teaching piano (and even parenting) and I’ve become passionate about sharing them with piano teachers! For the first time, it’s now available as an online piano teacher workshop!
Learning and teaching these things has been one of the most rewarding things I’ve been able to do. Because when you learn these characteristics of childhood, you’ll be excited about teaching, inspired to compose, and motivated at a whole new level.
The 3 Substantial Things You’ll Learn:
In this 1 hour and 48 minute online piano teacher workshop (not a moment is wasted – it’s all packed with content), you’ll learn:
- The 5 characteristics of childhood that we forget
- Scores of practical ways to apply this knowledge to help our students leave every single lesson feeling excited and competent
- Secrets to composing effective elementary piano music that Wendy uses as a composer
Who is This Online Piano Teacher Workshop For?
This session is relevant to any teacher of children (no matter what instrument), any parent of children, or any person who regularly works with children. One attendee even said, “You’ve helped me understand my own grandchildren better!”

I clicked on the link to buy, but it didn’t take me to the cart. I am on my iPad, so now I will try on my Mac.
I am trying to register for the Have you forgotten …. I can’t pay for it.
Thank you,

Hi Linda.

Hi Cheryl,
Looks like it just came through! I have you in the system now and you now have access…just check your email and see the more detailed response there! Thanks again!
Once purchased can you view the workshop more than once?
Hi Melinda,
Yes indeed! You can watch it personally as many times as you need to before November 30th. I hope that’s great news! 🙂
We have about 6 teachers in our pedagogy discussion group. We’d love to watch this together and are willing to pay an extra fee. I am afraid we are hardly big enough to warrant s personal visit from you. Any possibility you can create a group fee? BTW, I have attended a workshop with you at Westminister Choir College years ago.
Hi Patricia,
Thanks so much for asking about this! Yes, we are working on a special fee structure for small groups like yours that would like to watch it as a group. I’ll email you when we get that worked out soon! Thanks so much for your interest!
Wow…Westminister seems like ages ago!
Still on an endless loop of “try another credit card” so I am giving up…..
Thank You Wendy for finding a solution that worked!
Hi Marlene,
My pleasure! Thanks for alerting me that you were having trouble so I could help! Enjoy the workshop! 🙂
What is a coupon code, please?
Hi Gerry,
This price marked was actually the sale on this product, you didn’t need a coupon code. Unfortunately, the sale has ended, but I’m quite sure you’ll be pleased and satisfied with the workshop even when it’s not on sale. Let me know if you have any questions! If you do purchase it, you get an actual coupon code for any music that you order…that coupon code expires September 15th.
Thanks for your interest!
