Piano students of today commonly start with great enthusiasm and interest in music lessons, but maintaining that initial spark challenges all teachers. Today’s students are also quite different from those of the past. In a quickly evolving world, students are often overwhelmed by the distractions that surround them, especially innovations in technology and AI. While digital tools continue to develop new creative abilities, it is human creativity that will continue to inspire, connect, and unite us.

In this session, we will explore connections between theories of motivation and strategies for teaching creativity through improvisation and composition as a strategy for today’s young pianists. With an emphasis on the intermediate level, the presentation will provide insights from current research on motivation and Generation Alpha as well as practical strategies to implement creative activities with students. Attendees will leave inspired to revitalize the creative energies of their young musicians.

We will then have lunch at the Cate Zone Chinese Cuisine Restaurant, located at 24 Four Seasons Shopping Center, Chesterfield, MO 63017. $20/plate.  RSVP for this event here by 9/4/26: https://forms.gle/MXR7Wi4omUqGNGqq8
