When makeup lessons or online lessons simply are not realistic, asynchronous lessons can keep your students learning and give you peace of mind.

As teachers, we all know that life happens. Snow days, sick days, sports schedules, or just plain burnout. In this episode of The Scrappy Piano Teacher Podcast I am talking about one of my favorite backup tools: asynchronous lessons.

I share how I first stumbled into them, why my students actually preferred them over online lessons, and the two main ways I use them in my studio today. You will also hear my step by step process for creating simple 15 minute lessons that keep students practicing and engaged without overwhelming families or you.

And because it has been a tough week in the world, I close with a reminder of just how important our role is as music teachers. We are not just teaching scales and pieces. We are giving students a voice, modeling empathy, and creating a safe joyful space that they will carry with them for years.

If you have been curious about asynchronous lessons or just need a little encouragement for the road, this one is for you.
