Great podcast for music teachers

I am not a piano teacher, but a flute teacher. However I still find this podcast very helpful and really well done. I enjoy listening to it very much. I would love to hear more episodes on your lessons planning process, as well as some details on how your typical lesson goes. Also, if you could make an episode on some recommendations of what the best books on music pedagogy are , that would be awesome!

Quality tips/tricks/ideas for the music educator

I honestly really appreciate the organization of each show. While they are short, they are packed with information that is relevant and efficient! I also appreciate the quality behind the pedagogy. It’s rare that to find such a well-rounded content. Pianolady5all around!

Great resources and encouragement!

I’m so excited to find this podcast and Ashley’s website. I needed this encouragement for my teaching. I also really appreciate the resources she mentions. Her podcasts are short enough to make them fit in the time for cleaning!

Great Podcast!

This has been an excellent resource for me. As a piano teacher coming to the end of her first full year with a private studio, Ashley's resources have been an inspiration! I would love to hear more about her online strategies (such as planning a virtual piano recital, set up for online lessons, etc). Highly recommend this podcast and her blog for music teachers in any venue!
