Much more than a Suzuki podcast

I found Paula when I started to look for resources to teach my daughter violin 8 years ago. Over the years, I have learned so much from her about teaching, productivity, goal setting, and relationships; and not just the podcast but also by reading the books she recommends. She is articulate, organized, and just a joy to listen to.

Invaluable Information

I love this podcast! As a mom of three children taking music lessons, Paula’s insight on how to create consistency in a fun and easy environment is extremely helpful. She not only encourages me as a parent but as an individual as well. I especially enjoy her advice and insight on goal setting and growing the parent-child relationship. Thank you!
