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.

 October APPI Meeting
Topic: "Into the Wild"
Presenter: Jim Lansing

You may be filled with pride that your student wants to perform, accompany, or otherwise use their piano skills in the real world.  It may also fill you (and them) with a little terror.  Whether performing an offertory at church, accompanying a friend in a talent show, playing keys in a band, you can help them put their theory and musicianship to practical use.  Come to learn about preparing your student to succeed in their venture into the wild!
