Supporting Perfectionists in the Music Studio

Christine Goodner is joined by violinist and music educator Claire Allen in this six-part series called Supporting Perfectionists in the Private Music Studio. This series was born out of research and real-life experience, woven together and originally presented at the American String Teacher’s Association (ASTA) in the Spring of 2025.

Christine and Claire were excited to have the opportunity to sit down and record this series so they could share more in depth than the conference time restraints allowed. You can read a fantastic article about the conference presentation on violinist.com HERE.

You will find a link to each episode in the series below, as well as a list of links to resources mentioned on the podcast.

*This post will be updated as each of the future episodes in the series comes out*
