MTNA Podcast Presentation 3 - GarageBand Demo


This was probably the most interesting part of my podcast presentation from MTNA. Part 3 covers how to record audio and enhanced audio podcasts in GarageBand 3. I also discuss other applications for PC and Mac for recording podcasts. I was most appreciative of the lively audience's participation in this segment.

The next video podcast will be the conclusion of this MTNA series. After that, I'm hoping to get to some more online lessons along the lines of the Coldplay-Clocks episode. I've been receiving a lot of emails from viewers who had some special requests, and I will try to accommodate the requests as best as I can! Keep the emails coming!

MTNA Podcast Presentation 2


This is Part Two of my presentation on podcasting from the 2006 MTNA National Conference in Austin, TX. I cover how to listen to and subscribe to podcasts through iTunes and other resources. I also discuss educational uses of podcasting.

By the way, we now have TEN people who put their pin on my Frappr map. Thanks to all the guys (and 1 gal!) who put their pin in. If you haven't put in a pin, make me feel special and add yourself to the map!

Group Piano Ideas with Julie Knerr


In this video podcast, I interview Julie Knerr about successful group piano activities that she uses in her studio. She shares video clips of her students to illustrate.

This is one of the largest video podcast files I've made at close to 90 MB. I hope you're patient and give it a chance to download. I think it's worth the wait.

If you use any of these activities with your piano students, let us know how they work out!

Update: As of August 1, 2006, the YouTube version of this video podcast has received over 10,000 views and has been favorited 176 times. Pretty cool. Of course, when I see that other videos are up in the hundreds of thousands of views, then it's a bit more humbling. Nonetheless, this is by far the most popular podcast episode of the bunch. Hopefully once I get settled into my new job and home, I'll be able to do more followups to this.
