A professor at Wilfrid Laurier University with whom I studied has a wonderful website full of great information.  Here is a blog post that Heather has written about teens and musical study that I believe is invaluable.  I can not say that I did all the things she says but it is great inspiration. http://heathertaves.com/creativity-for-teen-pianists/​

Here are videos that I am constantly going back to with my students to show great performers playing the pieces they are working on.

Daniel Barenboim playing that most popular of RCM 8 pieces, Beethoven's Sonata in G, Op 49 No.2

Another perennial favourite by Beethoven, Fur Elise (Bagatelle in A minor) performed by Ivo Pogorelich.

While I never expect students to play the A minor 2-part Invention by J.S. Bach as fast as Glenn Gould, I like them to hear the possibilities and the absolute mastery of the keyboard.
