🚨How to Grow a Community (Without Losing Your Mind) If you want more members, here’s the trick: Don’t shout “Join me!” just light the wick. Post what you love, post what is true, Let curiosity do the recruiting for you. Show up with rhythm, show up with heart, Not salesy noise, just honest art. People don’t join for rules or fame, They join because your space feels safe. Now keeping them? Ah, that’s the game. Don’t build a crowd, learn their names. Ask real questions, spark small play, Give them a reason to show up today. Celebrate effort, not just the best, Invite the quiet, hype the rest. Create small wins, low-pressure fun, That’s how communities become one. Consistency beats viral flair, A little daily says “I care.” Do that long enough, here’s the twist, You won’t chase members… they’ll insist.

I also changed the name on it to reflect our name lol It was saying before Piano Tribe (until today). And our icon is changed also, as per your votes - the majority voted for the headphones so that is it now :) Oh, I opened up postings for level ones… so new people can immediately post their intro posts in the intro category 🫶 I believe if we get any bots/scammers we are pretty trained to handle them accordingly real quick!! Yes? Sharing photos below of the new banner and logo/icon (w the headphones) that we all picked together! Next step - reworking that classroom! Planning to lock EVERYTHING for lower levels (1 & 2) so that we can reduce overwhelm and increase productivity, as I am getting ready to slap a bunch more content in there. What do you think?

Shoutout to @Jay Hanan He played beautifully! I wish you can hear it 🤣 but my screen recording from my phone didn’t capture sound! 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ @Tommy Gan was also there!! He can chime in and tell you all how good it was!

Oh yeah here we goooooooo 🥳🥳🥳
