Who am I?
Hi, I'm Joy. I believe that excellent piano pedagogy training should be accessible and readily available, especially nowadays. That is why I created the Piano Teacher Institute, creating opportunities for one-on-one coaching and small group interaction for studying material typically encountered in college-level piano pedagogy courses. In an ideal world, piano teachers are thriving, active members of the profession and their community who produce progressing, capable students, and earn comfortable living while doing so. That is what the Piano Teacher Institute with Joy Morin is all about.
