Welcome!

Welcome to Pedagogy Place by Prestige Music Studios, Inc.! We look forward to discussing pedagogy issues for teachers, parents, students, and those interested in music education.

To begin, please let me know some of your concerns and topics that interest you so that we can begin discussions and interaction.

A large concern of mine is some parents' lack of support and patience for their children. Comments such as, "[my child] can't sing" said in front of the student at the time of the lesson is harmful, hurtful, and heart-shattering. I just don't understand how any parent could say something like that to their child! Of course, we all have our opinions, but how in the world could a parent be so negative? As teachers, parents, and musicians, we all need to do our part to support and encourage, not tear down, those trying to learn - especially the little ones...they are so impressionable.
