As someone who was recently featured on Tim's TopCast podcast, I can't recommend it highly enough! Tim is a truly exceptional host who knows exactly how to make his guests feel comfortable while asking insightful questions that bring out the best of their expertise. When discussing my work helping music teachers with effective websites and the FRODO framework, Tim's thoughtful questions allowed me to share valuable insights in a way that would be immediately helpful to his audience. His genuine curiosity and engagement made our conversation flow naturally, and I was able to cover more ground than I initially expected. What impressed me most was Tim's preparation. He had clearly researched my work thoroughly, which meant we could dive deep into substantive topics rather than staying on the surface. His listeners benefit tremendously from this level of preparation and his skill at guiding conversations toward practical takeaways. The production quality is excellent, and Tim has created a welcoming platform that serves the music teaching community with integrity and passion. Being on his podcast was not only a pleasure but also an opportunity to connect with exactly the right audience of dedicated music teachers. If you're a music teacher looking for practical, innovative ideas to enhance your teaching and business, TopCast should be at the top of your playlist. Tim's dedication to serving the music teaching community shines through in every episode!

TopCast is the podcast I look forward to listening. Tim invites interesting guests who share their ideas and experience on topics that are relevant to piano teachers. I have enjoyed the diversity of speakers and topics and highly recommend this podcast to teachers of all levels.

I have listened to this podcast for several years and have grown so much in my teaching from what I’ve gleaned from this podcast. Highly recommend for music teachers of all levels of experience and genres.

Thank you, Susan! Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the whole world of teachers could embrace all the struggling learners of the world with your enthusiasm. I am a music teacher in a school for over 100 children with severe developmental disabilities. I have degrees in Speech therapy, MA Ed. Special Education, and am Suzuki trained, and have been teaching music lessons for over 40 years. I have taught children with cerebral palsy, blindness, deafness, TBI, Downs Syndrome, autism and multiple disabilities. I learned more from your podcast today than I have from many others. Thank you for your inspiration and hard work. Your work will carry on through all teachers who have the blessing of hearing you speak. All the best to you and your family.

I look forward to receiving Tim’s email alerts about upcoming podcasts. I’ve learned so much, been inspired to reach higher goals and motivated to continue learning and growing as a music teacher. This particular podcast was a paradigm shifter for me!

I love all the interviews and interesting topics covered by Tim Topham. This podcast is great because of the variety of topics all related to music teaching and not of them can be applied to many instrument studios, not just there piano. I love the insight and inspiration I receive! Top notch podcast! An “A+” for sure!!

I'm not even a piano teacher but just a person that really likes to play the piano. These podcasts are so informative, inspiring and motivating. I am constantly learning new "stuff" and can't wait for the new weekly podcast. Who knows - when I retire as a CPA I may become an instructor. I really enjoyed episode 151: Motivating Music Theory with Glory St. Germain. She sparked something in me when she made the suggestion of facilitating music theory group lessons. I'll definately me mulling on that idea. Great Job, Tim! Thank you for creating and producing this amazing product. I liked the podcasts so much I did join the Inner Circle and have no regrets other than not enough time to devote to the courses and videos!

GREAT podcast to reflect on how I can teach my students in THEIR best interests, not simply to teach the way I was taught. Wonderful ideas on how to motivate students to want to keep playing, and I loved the ideas on how to help parents form a good practice routine for their students. It's always good to hear on podcasts, what has worked well and not so well for the people presenting. I learn so much from hearing your stories!

This podcast has been invaluable to me and my teaching. Much gratitude to Tim and all his guests who come on and share their knowledge and experiences in music,and the piano. I am excited about the teaching journey I am on! And also for how much more I can offer my students now because of this podcast and all the creative people/places it points me to.

This is a fantastic podcast. Literally, there are ideas for every kind of piano teacher with every kind of background and there are valuable take-aways from every episode! Tim and his guests are engaging and motivating. Definitely recommend!

Thanks Tim Topham for giving me great ideas and strategies for implementing the ideas! I also love the Inner Circle. Thanks for bringing the guests in the show!

Love this podcast. It has so many great people on that has given me new insight to teaching. I like trying out some of the methods with my students to be more creative at lessons. Thanks Tim for starting this podcast.

Thank you, Tim, for your podcasts! I get so much out of each one! I listened to the Paul Harris one again on Simultaneous Learning. It is inspiring. I like the tip about teaching scales with notation. New way of thinking about it.

I can’t say enough positive comments about this podcast! It is a treasure trove of tips, tricks and practical info for teachers and students. Thank you Tim for this resource!!!

Without fail, I always get some sweet new boost of confidence, inspiration and/or creativity as a piano teacher and business owner from listening to Tim's podcast and interviews. I feel like I struck gold when I found this podcast.

I love the Creative Piano Teacher podcast. Tim is super engaging and always discusses cutting edge ideas and I also love his Aussie accent. He hosts some really great guests which always sparks some new ideas for teaching Piano lessons.

This is the #1 resource for piano teachers worldwide. I’ve learned more in a few months from listening to these podcasts than the whole 4 years I spent as a music major in college. There is a wealth of information, ideas, resources, support, motivation, and encouragement for teachers. I already feel I’m twice the teacher I ever was before (and that’s after 20 plus years of teaching) from listening to this podcast. The future of piano lessons and creative piano teachers is in good hands if teachers listen to this podcast. Tim you are phenomenal, thank you for what you are doing. I wake up everyday now absolutely ecstatic that I’m a piano teacher.

Lots of great information. Both musical and business. Tim is a true leader in the music education industry. Looking forward to listening to all these episodes.

You guys, I seriously CANNOT rave about Tim Topham enough. I am a voice teacher, but have recently started teaching beginner piano lessons as well. I honestly had no idea where to begin with teaching piano, but Tim Topham's podcast and Inner Circle membership have completely set me up and gotten me off on the right foot. Because of his amazing tips, advice, resources, and online lesson plans I feel 100% more confident, prepared, and excited about teaching piano. Not only that, but his ideas have inspired ME to be a more creative musician. I think every piano teacher needs to know about this amazing person and his work! Thank you, Tim, for your hard work and dedication that is making the lives of so many music educators more exciting, fulfilling, and creative!

I have been following Tim's work as a piano teacher myself for about a year all in free content through this podcast and his blog and YouTube. He really delivers. Imagine the value that you get in this free content; in his inner circle he leaves absolutely nothing to be desired. He does everything for his inner circle. That translates into a successful business, loyalty. and his customer base loves him. I highly recommend Tim, the sweet hearted guy we all love with the funny accent!

Great interview. I always learn something.new! I am using her interactive method for a student in level 2A. She loves doing the online theory and having only one book to bring with her iPad! It was good to hear her explain the method! Thanks

I'm just starting to build my studio after moonlighting for the last 18 years while I've been raising a family. This has been the best resource for me to get up and running. I have really enjoyed using the information on the 3 students I currently teach and looking forward to what I might be able to do with more students as I acquire them. I'm feeling much more comfortable and confident with what I have to offer after listening to several of your podcasts. Thank you!!

As a rural teacher with a small studio and not much budget for attending national piano conventions, discovering Tim Topham's Creative Piano Teaching Podcasts gives me a wealth of resources weekly at my fingertips! While working around the house I can listen to interviews with nationally renowned piano teachers and receive advice and new inspiration for my teaching. I love the great topics and the amazing guests -- as well as Tim's practical and creative insight of course. I'm not normally a podcast person and I was getting overwhelmed reading too many blogs, but I find that Tim's podcasts are relevant and well worth the time it takes to listen.

I listen to every episode numerous times. Tim is a great interviewer. He selects fascinating guests and asks great questions. Never a dull moment, always something new and engaging. Loved the recent Lyndell Kennedy Interview!

I have been teaching piano lessons for over 10 years and I'm so glad to have found this podcast. So much useful information. Very well produced and a great variety of topics. I listen in my car and very often utilize the links on the show notes page. I really appreciate the time and hard work that must go into them.

I get a lot of great teaching ideas from Tim's podcast. Even though I'm a bass player and not a pianist, I learn a lot of strategies for my own teaching studio. Highly recommended!

Tim Topham TV is a great podcast for piano teachers, and pianists in general. I am still a piano student (but I am also teaching as well), but the ideas and music knowledge in general that you can learn from this podcast is astounding. I love listening to every episode, never have I been bored or annoyed, the interview questions are relavant and the ideas presented are simple and often easy. My one complaint is that I wish some episodes were longer! Thank you so much for the podcasts Tim, and I would recommend this podcast to any piano teacher interested in having more fun in teaching (and learning) about piano.

I've been working my way through these while driving this summer. Such a wonderful variety of topics, and Tim is such fun to listen to! I have learned so much ... found so many ideas to steal ... and feel like I've made many new friends in this industry. We are truly blessed to live in this time of such open-hearted sharing! I'm looking foward to many more great episodes.

I just listened to your podcast with Lynnette Barney and it was fantastic. So good for a million reasons. Professional, engaging, relevant, all while maintaining a lighthearted approach. Just awesome. Thanks for all you do Tim! I hope everyone checks out your podcasts!

I LOVE listening to these podcasts and applying new techniques and ideas to my studio. Everytime I listen I just feel so inspired to change things and become a better listener and teacher. Tim has excellent interviews but his personal insight is also what motivates me. Thank you for taking the time to create this material! I have 50 students and it is def. changing how I teach them.

Tim does an amazing job keeping piano teachers up to date on the newest and most innovative teaching techniques/ ideas available! What a great way to keep my studio growing in the right direction! Thank you!

I was just introduced to Tim Topham's website a couple of months ago. Now that I found his podcasts I am hooked. Forget about binge watching shows on Netflix. I'm binge listening to all these amazing interviews with wonderful teachers to improve my own studio. Thanks for making these available for FREE, Tim! They are giving my ideas & courage to improve my studio & my teaching methods. I can't recommend them enough!

I’m learning so much through these wonderful podcasts. They're definitely among the best online resources currently available for piano teachers. Tim has an engaging personality and does excellent interviews with his guests. Thanks Tim!

As a student who is terrified to play before an audience, I found the podcast very helpful

I try to keep up with technology, however, it stays way ahead of my time for learning. This podcast really helped me to narrow down my time commitment by sending me to the most useful tools available. Thanks for sharing Tim

I am so happy that I found your podcast, Tim. You have been such a great inspiration, and in only one week of listening to a handful of podcasts. I so appreciate your spontaneity, quality of guests and topics. The technology podcast with Becky about Piano Maestro has lit up the faces of about 50 of my students this week…. an absolutely stellar teaching week for me, to be able to connect with young people on music and gaming. Can’t thank you enough! I have an excellent suggestion for a guest for you to interview. Should I mention it here or in private?

Your timing couldn't be more perfect! I'm holding class recitals next week and unveiling Piano Maestro to my parents along with involving the parents in easy improvisation games with their children. Hoping to spread a new excitement and energy throughout my studio. Thanks for the HUGE amounts of creativity you continue to share with us!

If you can’t make it to a Piano Pedagogy conference because it’s too expensive, too far away and you have too many students to take the time off? It’s ok! This is where you can come to get the best info from great sources. Subscribe. Take notes. Start adding these “lessons” to your lessons and you will be transformed! Enjoy! Thanks So much Tim for a FANTABULASTIC resource!

I've been looking for piano teaching podcasts, and this is great! Informative, good topics, enjoyable listening.

I have listened to every episode and am so amazed by the amount of valuable and usable information. Way to jump out in front in the podcast world regarding piano lessons! What a fabulous resource for teachers! The guests are obviously highly skilled and very articulate. Thank you so much!

This is a wonderful podcast for any and all music educators. I could go on and on but you should stop reading this and start listening!! Enjoy.

Tim offers the most innovative, creative interviews and cutting-edge information in the piano teaching scene on his podcast. He strives to give teachers a sense of community in an occupation that is often filled with solitude. I listen to each new podcast and once I’m done listening, I listen AGAIN! Worth a double take! Thanks, Tim, for all you do for this community. Your passion for teaching funnels through all of us to a multitude of students. Bravo!!!

Time well spent listening to Tim's Poadcast. Great way to use my bike riding time to the fullest. ThanksTim!

I have subscribed to Tim's emails for a long time, but only recently got into listening into podcasts. I listened to the first one, and was hooked. I listen while I'm out running, and it's the best use of time! I always return with so many ideas. Our teaching styles match up beautifully, and I've learned so much by listening to these podcasts, as well as the website. I agree completely that we should always be learning an evolving as a teacher, and Tim's helping me do that. I also just purchased access to Piano Flix on Tim's website, and I'm so motivated right now. Wonderful, and I recommend to all piano teachers.

I highly recommend this podcast and all of Tim’s articles. I have fallen into piano teaching and take pains to keep learning new things and ways to inspire my students and keep them interested. I thoroughly enjoy listening to this podcast, esp. while commuting. I also really appreciate the links in the show notes. Please, keep them coming!

Tim's podcast is extremely informative and up to date. It's important to find information and ideas that are relevant to piano teachers TODAY, and if that's what you want, this is the podcast you're looking for!

The podcast with Paul Harris and Simultaneous Learning was relevant, engaging, and inspiring. I have spent this summer researching pedagogy and programs for a method that will engage and better connect with my students than the standard "Play it for me and then I will correct you" way of teaching that feels, as Paul Harris said, "Negative" and overall not highly effective in making musical connections and life long musicians. Thank you Tim for bringing Simultaneous Learning to my attention. I believe it will completely change my studio!

I don't listen to podcasts, but have this one worth my time. It's interesting, full of great information I can use in my teaching and very practical. I always look forward for a new episode!

I'm a musician who'd like to start giving lessons. So glad resources like this podcast are out there to help!

This is a wonderful resource for piano teachers, the topics covered are varied and the guests are great!
