I'm excited to announce the first episode of a weekly podcast for
piano pedagogy, the very aptly named Piano Pedagogy Podcast! Each week,
my colleague Arianne Lakra and I discuss two topics related to piano
pedagogy and music teaching in general. Sometimes we find a way to
connect the two topics, and sometimes they're wildly different.
This week, we're discussing Method Books and Preparation Stage Learning. Find us on Spotify or your favorite podcast platform.

Tired of New Year's resolutions that fizzle out by February? In this episode of the Pedagogy Podcast, Jacqueline Beckoff introduces "Yearly Themes," a powerful concept borrowed from YouTuber CGP Grey, that can revolutionize the way you and your music students approach growth. Discover how to ditch the pressure of resolutions and embrace a year-long journey of focused improvement, both in your musical skills and your teaching practice.
A music teacher's perceived value, influenced by qualifications, offerings, and environment, directly impacts their pricing. Examining these factors can help teachers strategically enhance their value and command appropriate fees.
Practice is essential for every musician. On episode 17 of the Piano Pedagogy Podcast, we discuss how to effectively teach students to become excellent practicers.
