If you follow Harmanny Music Education on Facebook or Instagram, you may have noticed the lack of posts. Or maybe you didn’t because the algorithm didn’t show you much of the studio posts to begin with. Anyway, I had a plan to create lots of posts and social media in January…..but it didn’t happen. Why? A few thoughts and takeaways about my break.
First, I took a personal break from social media for the month. With not checking Facebook or Instagram 200 times or so per day, I didn’t really have the thought to check my business social media. So the break started unintentionally. Along with that, one of my goals for 2026 was to practice the piano more. It just so happened that I had opportunities to accompany students, which definitely took up more time. And then finally about mid month, I decided that I’d join my personal break for the business as well.
So what did I learn? Business didn’t drop off. I still have all of my students. Which makes me wonder and ponder what the purpose is for the studio social media? What is the purpose for the studio YouTube channel? Especially because of the algorithm and whether or not it shows the studio content to others. I’m still wrestling with those thoughts and what to do with all of that. I will post more in February, but I think that it will be more intentional and focused.
If you have any thoughts or ideas about what you would like to see covered on social media, here on the blog, YouTube channel, etc, please comment with them! I’d love your input.
