Partner lessons, also called buddy lessons, have become one of my favorite formats in the studio.

In this episode, I’m sharing exactly how I teach and structure them, what a 45 minute format looks like, and how I decide which students to pair together. I’ll walk through how partner lessons help with scheduling, practice motivation, and even teacher burnout.

If you’ve ever wondered how to find a balance between group and private piano lessons, or how to bring collaboration into your studio without doubling your hours, this episode will help you get started. You’ll hear how I plan lessons in ten minute segments, how I build in flexibility for different personalities and skill levels, and how partner lessons can support overscheduled students while keeping your teaching flow simple and steady.

Whether you call them partner piano lessons, buddy lessons, or duet lessons, these strategies will help you save time, improve studio organization, and create more connection in your teaching week.
