Why Kids Really Quit Piano – And How to Stop It

Kids don’t quit piano because they’re not musical or talented — the real reasons go much deeper. After 20+ years of teaching and working with educators worldwide, I’ve uncovered the true, often-overlooked causes behind student dropouts. In this episode, we break down the 7 key reasons kids quit (hint: it’s not about ability or interest) and explore actionable strategies for parents and teachers to keep kids engaged, progressing, and loving music for the long term. Let’s shift the narrative and help more kids stay the course.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
