Hi, I'm Melanie Bowes. I am dedicated to harnessing the transformative power of group piano teaching.

 

Spending more time with my own children (these guys here) was my motivation for starting group piano classes. With a background in school teaching, an MA in Music Education, and nearing completion of my PhD in group piano, I'm passionate about sharing insights on its effectiveness with fellow teachers and studio owners.
