The Art of Pedagogy


The art of teaching extends beyond notes, theory, scales and memory.


The Pedagogue's responsibility is to teach by example, nurture and expand the students vision and intuition. It has been said that pedagoguy is both a science and art. To this one must include love of the art together with an abiding respect for the masters before us and indeed the student whose mind is craving for the gifts and secrets.

Sharing....understanding...anticipation...
between the student and master.
"Moments like this are very important to me"

The best Pedagogue is not one who descends upon pupils from lofty heights... but she who rises to new levels together with the student.
