The Conscious Artist: A Path to Mental & Physical Wellbeing This educational webinar explores the critical and often overlooked topic of mental health awareness in the performing arts. Drawing on The Conscious Artist® podcast and Pallavi Mahidhara’s experience as a concert pianist and mental health advocate, these sessions create space for honest dialogue about any and all challenges artists face. Through real-life stories and practical tools (breath work, body alignment, injury prevention, and mindset strategies), participants learn how to build emotional resilience and sustainable artistry. |

Understanding Chord Symbols If you have students who are actively interested in playing pop music, jazz, or contemporary worship music, you’ve likely heard questions like: What’s a G5 chord? Is there a difference between a D2 and a D(add2)? What about D9? Since C6 has the same notes as Am7, how are they different? How do slash chords work, like F/G? This practical session explains the principles, common practices, and variations in modern chord notation. |

Go Forward and Make Beautiful Music While incorporating arm movement into a piano student’s physicality, it is important to take note of the root of that motion—for example, a circular arm motion can lead to over-extension of the elbow, and a deliberately upward follow-through can lead to an uncomfortably high wrist. Why not focus on the forward motion, guiding it all? In this webinar, through musical examples and close-up technical demonstrations, this forward motion will be acutely examined to show how it can result in free, efficient and focused piano playing, and wide-ranging, poised and beautiful sound production. |
