In this episode:
I’m super-excited to welcome my first guest to the Music Tech Teacher podcast: Tim Topham, a Melbourne based creative piano teacher, blogger and podcaster who uses technology on a daily basis. Tim has his own website – timtopham.com – and also heads up the Inner Circle – an exclusive membership community designed just for creative piano teachers who want ideas, tips and support.
Tim and I chat about some of his favourite tech tools, apps and other tips in this interview episode.

The interview with Tim Topham is great. I’ve listened to it several times and am taking notes on the part about pop recitals, which I would like to phase in with my guitar students.
I’m so happy you enjoyed it Glenn and i’ll pass your comments on to Tim. I would love it if you could leave a review for the podcast in iTunes if you haven’t already (there are some tips on how to do that here if you need them!)
