Welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast No. 728! It's Vidas and usually we do these conversations with Ausra but today I'm delighted to speak with a very special guest—someone whose music has brought inspiration, beauty, and calm to listeners and performers around the world.Dr. James Michael Stevens, joining us from Nashville, Tennessee, is a remarkably prolific composer, pianist, and educator. He currently serves as the Dean of the School of Music at Welch College, and his creative output is nothing short of astonishing. With thousands of published compositions, Dr. Stevens has developed a signature style that blends lyrical grace, spiritual depth, and heartfelt simplicity.Many of his works, especially his meditative piano pieces, have become favorites among church musicians, educators, and recording artists alike. His music resonates deeply with people looking for comfort, peace, and emotional honesty—and more recently, it has also found a home in the repertoires of organists.In this episode, we'll explore how James approaches composition and stays so remarkably productive. We'll discuss how he balances creative flow with discipline, what inspires the emotional tone of his music, and how sacred themes guide his writing. We'll also talk about his experiences in music education, the challenges and rewards of publishing, and what advice he would give to aspiring composers and church musicians today.Enjoy the conversation!James Michael Stevens Website:https://www.jamesmichaelstevens.com/welcome.htmlAll music at Sheet Music Plus:https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/category/arrangeme/?q=James+M+Stevens+Music+ASCAP?&aff_id=605733Organ Solo Music at Sheet Music Plus:https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/en/category/instruments/piano-and-keyboard/organ/organ-solo/?prefn1=artists_composers&prefv1=James+Michael+StevensSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7oMHPMTAKVFtskAXuQ4u1k?si=vk9WqmheTUWEfnAAJpUGIAJames Michael Stevens

Download your FREE copy of How to Level up Your Studio Policy in 3 Ways” here: 3 Ways to Level Up Your Studio PolicyJoin the FREE Facebook community for piano teachers:https://www.facebook.com/groups/theprosperouspianoteacherIn this episode, we're diving into a topic that's both exciting and profitable: five effective ways to increase your income right now. If the idea of boosting your earnings has you feeling overwhelmed or uncertain, don't worry. I've been there too, but trust me, it's not as daunting as it seems. In fact, by the end of this episode, you'll likely have a fresh perspective on income growth strategies.So, let's jump right in and explore these five ways that can significantly impact your income as a piano teacher.1. Raise Your Rates: The Game-Changing MoveLet's start with the elephant in the room: your rates. If you're like most piano teachers, you may be undercharging for your valuable services. This not only affects your own earnings but also devalues the entire industry. Think about it – if you raise your rates to reflect the true value you offer, it's a win-win situation. Your income increases, and you're helping elevate the standards for piano teaching.Imagine doubling your rates and potentially losing some students in the process. While this might sound risky, consider this: you'll be making the same income for half the work. By charging what you're worth, you're not only investing in yourself but also shifting the perception of piano lessons.2. Embrace Group Classes: A Creative ApproachGroup classes are an exciting way to add value to your teaching and increase your income. Don't let the term "group classes" limit your thinking; they can be more diverse than you imagine. Group classes can cover various topics, from technique and music history to performance practice and music theory. By introducing group classes, you enhance your students' experience, foster a sense of community, and potentially generate additional income.3. Get Paid for Recommendations: Monetize Your ExpertiseDid you know you can turn your recommendations into income? If you frequently suggest specific books or resources to your students, consider affiliate marketing. Platforms like Sheet Music Plus and Amazon offer affiliate programs that allow you to earn a commission for each sale made through your referral links. This turns your role as a mentor into a revenue-generating opportunity.4. Organize Musical Events and Workshops: A Platform for GrowthHosting musical events, workshops, and classes within your community is not only fulfilling but can also boost your income. Partner with local organizations, nursing homes, or community centers to organize recitals, workshops, or even continuing education classes for adults. These events not only showcase your expertise but also act as effective marketing tools, expanding your network and increasing your reach.5. Create Online Content and Courses: The Power of OnlineIn today's digital age, creating online content and courses can be a game-changer for your income. While it may take time to build a substantial following, platforms like Coursera and Udemy offer the opportunity to monetize your expertise. You can also consider sharing resources, and tutorials, or even starting a YouTube channel to showcase your teaching approach and attract new students.Remember, the journey towards increasing your income is not only about financial gains but also about personal and professional growth. So, keep an open mind, explore these...

Misha Stefanuk speaks about teaching students to play convincingly in a variety of styles, his jazz piano exercise books, and his bestselling easy piano arrangements.

You can see more of his publications on his Sheet Music Plus and Mel Bay pages.

It's been a little over five months since the lockdowns began, and for almost all of that time I decided to not even think about releasing anything, and simply let my interests be what they would be from day to day. I shut down the Patreon and retreated into a long period of contemplation and largely undirected creative work.As the months passed, I became increasingly interested in composing music rather than improvising it. And over the past month or so, I've been writing daily for orchestra and for string quartet and for piano, and I've been finding this work very satisfying in itself.This piano piece is the first one of these compositions that I'm releasing. It's free to listen to here, but if you'd like to help support my work, you can pick it up along with the rest of my music at Bandcamp. If you play piano and can read written music, the sheet music for this piece is also available through Sheet Music Plus.Track art by Snapwire, licensed through Pexels.

I told a few people prior to publishing this episode that the next guest would be Dan Moore. The response was unanimous, but the inflection varied: "oh man, I gotta hear that guy."Dan Moore took a break from his recent retirement to come talk to me about his small-town beginnings, teaching techniques, advice on jazz band, and his thoughts on marching band. Dan's recent endeavors include a larger focus on publishing his method book, original compositions, and arrangements, clinician services, and writing music and drill for marching band (and no, he doesn't just write "Dan Moore" type shows!).You can find Dan's work by searching "Daniel Moore Music" on facebook, JW Pepper, and Sheet Music Plus.I hope you enjoy this episode!

Welcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast #117! http://www.organduo.lt/podcast Today's guest is composer, organist and choir conductor from New Zealand, ​Nigel Williams. During his student days he was a chorister at Holy Trinity Cathedral in Auckland. In his eleven years in the choir he developed an interest in composing organ and choral music. After graduating from the University of Auckland with a Master's Degree in composition he began a career as a music teacher. He was at the forefront of music education in New Zealand for almost 30 years having taught variously at Westlake Girls High School, St Paul's Collegiate School, Scots College, and Marsden School for Girls. He retired recently from the position of Director of Music at Mill Hill School in London (UK). Currently Nigel is musical director of the Tauranga Civic Choir for whom he is composing a large scale cantata style work for performance in 2019. He has always maintained an active life as a musician and composer in the community. In Hamilton NZ Nigel established a regional orchestra and jazz band festival for schools. Taking advantage of St Paul's Collegiate new Letourneau organ he established an international organ festival to further promote the playing of the organ in New Zealand. He was Director of Music at Hamilton's St Peter's Cathedral for several years and established choral scholarships to ensure a quality of choral singing at the Cathedral and establish an enduring link with Hamilton's Waikato University's Music Department. In Wellington NZ Nigel served as chair of the Wellington regional committee of the New Zealand Choral Federation. During his seven years as musical director of the Bach Choir of Wellington he enjoyed the opportunity of directing over twenty five concerts with an emphasis on the larger scale works of J.S. Bach. He was fortunate to forge a relationship with members of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra which lead to the formation of the Chiesa Ensemble. Nigel's last concert with the Bach Choir was a complete performance of J.S. Bach's Mass in B minor. In this conversation, Nigel shares his insights about his love for twelve tone technique, modal music and of course, the polyphony. ​Enjoy and share your comments below. ​And don't forget to help spread the word about the SOP Podcast by sharing it with your organist friends.
