    Wonderful Podcast for Piano Parents, Students and Teachers
    I am so thankful for Shelly Davis. This podcast is a goldmine of information, encouragement, and fun for any who are involved in piano lessons. Some of my favorite episodes are the Musical Mysteries as well as conversations with other teachers. I always recommend it to my piano families! Keep up the good work! I will always be a loyal listener. Sincerely, Liana Pace, piano teacher

    Great podcast for parents of piano students!

    Shelly Davis is the real deal!
    Many parents want their child to be able to play the piano, but we all know that it takes just as much work from the parent as it does from the kiddo. This podcast is chock full of practical info on building piano playing skills, but I love that there are also episodes devoted to supporting and encouraging the parent on how to hang in there when your kiddo wants to quit. Bravo!

    Definitely worth a listen... except for the her religious sharing
    I've been teaching piano for 15 years and have seen a lot. That said, I learn a ton from this podcast! Shelley and the teachers she interviews are so professional and creative! Clearly the host is Christian. And clearly she feels strongly about her faith. For those of us who don’t share that faith, the wise thing is to step lightly. You’ve just lost a listener.

    How To Really Be Supportive
    As someone who was raised playing piano, I remember hating it for most of that time. But as I now still love to play it for fun, I hope I can pass that on. This podcast definitely has been giving me great ideas.

    Just listened to the music therapy podcast. Learned so much and was so moved by the descriptions of how sharing music with those with medical needs and health issues can transform the quality of lives!

    Essential if you have kids learning piano
    As a lifelong pianist, GOSH I wish my parents had a resource like this. But seriously, you can really tell Shelly knows her stuff. I wanted to brush up on my basics to help my neice and nephew learn piano and this has been the perfect resouce.

    Really Cool, Entertaining & Interesting
    Wow, such a cool podcast Shelly has put together for all of us here! I've always loved piano and the idea of learning to play piano but I never did, which is something I regret. That being said, it's a great idea to have this kind of a podcast to help parents and kids take that step and start learning and practicing. Plus, like I've just learned by listening to the Piano Parent Podcast learning to play piano is much more than just learning to play a musical instrument, it helps your children develop other very important skills both for their future personal and professional lives!
  • Wendy Lister
    A must listen for anyone with a child playing piano
    Many of us put our kids in piano lessons, but if we aren't musical ourselves, are limited in our ability to support them. Shelly is a passionate music educator, and thanks to this podcast we are all able to take advantage of her wonderful wisdom and tools to ignite a lifelong love of music.

    Good insights as a teacher
    Getting some great value from this podcast as insights into the piano parents mindset. Helps with my connection to my parents, marketing, etc etc. especially since I'm 24 and adopting the parents concerns and values can be difficult! Thanks Shelly, Eric here from the Musical Minds Podcast. Hope to connect soon!
