- But professional development does not have to be limited to music education. Nick Ambrosino in his monthly column Notes with Nick points out professional development can include exploring other topics and interests that might not seem directly related to the teaching of piano.

And if you missed the teleseminar with Nick, you will find a link that will allow you to listen to the recording.

- Preschool Music and Piano Preparation Classes - The Revenue Stream for You?

These same principles could be applied when looking at adding any new niche or income stream.
- Social, Technical and Aesthetic Elements in Educational Music
- Have you ever considered that reading magazines such as this one, reading blogs, participating in Facebook groups, etc. are all forms of professional development?

This month Nikolas Sideris might make you think a bit more about the repertoire you are using with your young students in his article Social, Technical and Aesthetic Elements in Educational Music.
- Let's Play! Help Your Students Improvise
- Finally, Michael Katz is back with another installment of Let’s Play! Help Your Students Improvise.
