Canadian-Made Piano Music for Teachers and Students
Free Piano Teaching Videos
These free piano teaching videos are designed to support meaningful, practical learning - for students working through a specific piece, and for teachers looking for ready-made guidance to use in lessons.
Created by Jen Smith Lanthier, a Canadian composer and piano educator, each series focuses on a different aspect of piano development - from musicianship skills and exam preparation to technique, sight reading, and adult learner confidence. Think of them as mini piano lessons you can return to anytime.

Who Are These Videos For?
All videos are suitable for students of most ages and levels, with many especially helpful for developing pianists and adults seeking approachable, confidence-building guidance, essential skill-building, and friendly encouragement.
Teachers can also use these videos as lesson supplements - particularly when teaching pieces from Animal Bus or Piano for the Planet - for guidance on approaches, background, and composer intent. The Mini Musicianship course is especially useful for Conservatory Canada exam preparation, as all five pieces appear in the Contemporary Repertoire Syllabus.
These videos are especially well suited for developing:
Stronger, more effective practice habits
Essential musicianship skills
A deeper understanding of the how and why in music
Confidence and motivation
