While some piano teachers are still strictly pen and paper, a lot of us are transitioning to a digital planner for piano teachers.

I am unashamedly one of those! And I love using this beautiful blush, navy, and champagne digital planner for piano teachers! This planner includes a variety of forms, calendars, and documents for your studio, whether you’re teaching online or in person, to help keep you organized and keep your studio running smoothly. And you can even import sheet music into the digital planner to keep your lesson planning for online piano lessons organized and at your fingertips!

Recently, my colleague and planner guru Sarah O’Brien and I had a fun chat all about digital planners for piano teachers, and we did a walk-through of my piano teacher planner. You can watch it below. It was such a fun interview!

Here is just a small glimpse of what we discuss in our video:

What’s included in the Digital Planner for Piano Teachers download:

1. Instructions and link to video tutorial on YouTube
2. PDF File of the digital planner. Upload the file to GoodNotes on your iPad to start using it.
3. Digital Stickers: Letters, numbers, days, months, years, monthly mini calendars. These will be imported into the GoodNotes file as you need them.

This piano teacher digital planner is designed to be used with a PDF annotation app such as GoodNotes, Notability, etc. I’m using it with GoodNotes, which is my favorite! The app is NOT included in this download and must be purchased separately for your device in the App Store, Google Play, etc.
