The Association of Professional Piano Instructors (APPI) is a non-profit organization that enables piano instructors of all levels and abilities to network with others to energize and enhance the art of teaching piano.
APPI Teachers meet from 11:00am - 12:30pm on the second Friday of the month, September - May.   

 Monthly Meeting, Friday, January 9, 2026
11:00am - 12:30pm
ONLINE

​Title: 
 Presenting Pieces for the First Time 
Special Guest Speaker: Diane Hidy
 

​
Description:  We kick off 2026 with a visit from internationally acclaimed Diane Hidy LIVE! from her studio in San Francisco, CA. 
THIS Friday, APPI welcomes you to stay inside, skip the drive and join online at our usual meeting time to hear Diane's unique approach to Presenting Pieces for the First Time to our students. It is January and our students are returning from holiday break slightly off-schedule, under-practiced, and low-energy. Perhaps presenting something new will grab their attention and get your students re-engaged --- be sure you don't miss this session!  
​

Location: This meeting is online only - Zoom link will be provided in the Wednesday reminder for APPI members.  Not an APPI member yet? Be sure to sign up on our website at https://www.appimn.org/
