Meet the Piano Teacher: Eric Campbell

Your Piano Teacher's Early Years My personal music history began at home and at church.  At home my dad played all kinds of music on LP’s and 8 tracks (remember those?) on our home stereo.  We actually sat there and listened to it, whether blasting the Redcoat Marching Band album before a Georgia game, or celebrating Christmas playing Handel’s Messiah.  And I heard the most beautiful music at my church growing up… First Baptist of Decatur.  The church had graded children’s choirs, a 75-voice touring [...]

The Magic of a New Piano

Have you experienced the magic of a new piano?  Sometimes it’s the feel of the keys and the melodic sounds that stir the emotions in your heart.  Other times, it’s the love behind the gift of music, or even the gift of a piano, that sparks the magic.

Ms. Sue Tomlin, Piano Teacher at Turner's Keyboards We are so excited to introduce you to one of our newest piano teachers, Sue Tomlin. Sue started teaching piano lessons at Turner’s in June 2021. We sat down with Sue and learned a bit about what inspires her teaching style. Question: “When I am an adult, I would like to be a musician.  Is that a crazy aspiration?” Answer: “Yes.  Being an adult is overrated.  Be a musician.  You’ll have more fun!” We love [...]

“Nobody has ever told me they were happy they quit” ….. 

Hardly a day goes by that someone doesn’t walk through our doors and tell me they were sorry they quit taking piano lessons.  “Just imagine what I could be playing now” as they look wistfully at the pianos. Regardless the specific details the answers to why they quit are all generally the same, too.  “I thought playing the piano was for sissies,” “I wanted to be outside playing sports,” or “My piano teacher was mean.” (which almost always meant the teacher only expected them to [...]

What you might not realize about your Piano Teacher…

The other day a piano teacher who we see often was in our store looking at the books in our print department. We said hello and exchanged pleasantries and I proceeded to ask her “how are your students doing?" "Are you looking for anything in particular, etc.?” Karen told me she had a 15 year old student whom she’d taught for years. They were kind of at a plateau in her lessons. Other interests ( boys, sports, social media) were creeping in and she wanted to [...]
