Welcome to DAY FOUR of 2025 Studio Teacher Thanksgiving! ๐ฅ
Sigh - Thursday already! For those in the U.S., we are officially one week away from Thanksgiving, which (hopefully) means you are edging toward some vacation time! ๐
One quick reminder:
This is the ONLY time of year I send daily emails. You'll hear from me Monday through Friday this week. If you would like to OPT-OUT of Studio Teacher Thanksgiving emails, please click the button below.
(You will still receive Piano Teacher Confessions, but not the gratitude reflections in this series.)
This (4 min) video introduces our fourth point of gratitude for the week.
Spoiler Alert: Today we give thanks for a profession that clearly serves our community in important ways. It is a blessing to be a contribution.
I think we've all wanted to roll our eyes at comments made about piano teaching as a profession. Frustrating as it may be, the truth is, we are changing lives with the time we spend with our students. May we all relish in our positive contributions today. ๐ฅ
On a lighter note: I'd love to hear the most ridiculous question/comment someone has made to you about your work. That will be your ticket to entering today's giveaway. ๐
CONGRATULATIONS to yesterday's giveaway winner:

Pam wins a complimentary download of Janna Williamson's Method to Masterworks resource ๐ฅ Many thanks to Janna for contributing to this year's event!
(Pam, I'll be in touch later today!)
And Now: Time for TODAY'S Giveaway:
After all, what's Studio Teacher Thanksgiving without a little GIVING?!

If you aren't already aware, I became more-than-a-little obsessed with the concept of PLAY as it applies to our craft this past summer.
โThe Paradox of Play is a recorded version of a popular presentation I give to music teacher groups.
I'd love to give away The Paradox of Play to one of you today!
To enter the giveaway:Simply REPLY TO THIS EMAIL before 10pm tonight (EST) and tell me the most eye-roll inducing comment someone has made to you about your work.
Tomorrow I will announce a winner (chosen at random) from the names of those who reply. It's that simple! โค๏ธ
