Description

In this episode of The Scrappy Piano Teacher, Jaclyn Mrozek interviews pianist and educator William Perry, creator of the Piano Music Database.

What began as a spreadsheet to help one adult student quickly turned into a tool that’s helping teachers across the country save hours of lesson planning.

William shares how the database was built, how teachers are using it to find repertoire by concept, level, mood, and theme, and why it’s quickly becoming a favorite resource in both private studios and pedagogy classrooms.

The conversation also explores how the tool supports living composers, provides preview recordings, and allows teachers to build custom lists for their students.

The best part...it’s currently free to try during the beta period.
