Game-ifying deliberate practice & focusing on appropriate challenges for each student definitely banishes the (unfortunately) age-old idea of piano lessons being boring! On behalf of all kinds of scales, thanks for the shoutout @angeladuckw! 🎹🤘🏼⚡️ @khanacademy @salkhanacademy

"Sometimes it's hard for me to wrap my head around how bad it all was. I've always wondered, 'Will anyone ever care what happened to the girls who went to Rosemead High?'"

Telling kids they're superior doesn't build self-esteem. It breeds narcissism.

Research: narcissists don't suffer from a lack of love. They're the product of parents with inflated views of them.

Healthy parenting says "you're special to me," not "you deserve special treatment."

There’s no shame in not seeing when you’re being manipulated. The shame is that people use their time and energy to create lies, because showing up authentically threatens the deception they’ve built their life on. That’s the shame.

"I’m 60 years old, and I just won my first Oscar..If I can do one thing with this moment of my professional joy, it would be to point the spotlight on...women who are rebuilding their communities." Read this essay by Michelle Yeoh, UN goodwill ambassador. https://t.co/Iufz33v732

After I was convicted of murder and sentenced to 26 years in prison, when the earth dropped out from beneath me, and global shame rained down on top of me, I had my first ever epiphany.

Kids these days aren't as bad as we think.

We make the mistakes of comparing kids to our current traits—forgetting what we were like at their age—and comparing their limitations to our strengths.

Before we vilify younger generations, we should remember our own shortcomings.

It’s a beautiful day to change history w my fellow survivor sisters

We need to make it easier for Asian elders to get in-language mental health resources.

Help is out there and available in Khmer, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Korean, Tagalog, Thai. @robertgarrova's got a list going.

My mom's friend was invited last minute and luckily escaped, but my students' family friend was not so lucky. Many of us here in the SGV are connected to someone affected by this massacre.

Any word on whether they’ll be examining the brain of the Monterey Park shooter?

[Cindy Lam @cindypiano]

Whatever this shooter's motive was, we have a gross American epidemic of angry men who have no idea how to self regulate or process their emotions

[Cindy Lam @cindypiano]

We’re only 3 wks into 2023 and this is our 5th mass shooting. I have no words. I hope we catch this sick fuck who terrorized our Asian aunties, uncles, brothers and sisters tonight. They did not deserve this.

A piano parent said that I’m a mix of Rebecca and Keeley from Ted Lasso and I can’t think of a better compliment!
