Pedagogy Workshops

The beliefs, feelings and assumptions of a teacher are the ‘air’ of a learning environment and they determine the quality of our musical life within. What is the ‘air’ of your learning environment? Are you the teacher you want to be?

We learn through our questions and through pursuing our interests. If you are curious about what it really means to be a teacher, about how we learn and how to create an environment for student discovery to occur, these questions and more will be answered in one of Mary Kogen’s many workshops.

Workshop structure:
Workshops are organized throughout the U.S. for groups up to 200 people. Sessions run from 2 hours to full-day and are customized according to the needs of the group. Mary works with clients to make workshops affordable.
