About the PSG

The Pedagogy Study Group was initiated by a group of AMS members who wished to address the roles of teaching and pedagogy in the Society. After holding an organizational meeting Washington, D.C. (2005), the PSG requested official recognition from the AMS Board, which the Board granted in March 2006. Currently, members of the PSG are organizing a poster session for the national meeting in L.A.; we anticipate staging either a session or a roundtable discussion each year at the annual meeting. The PSG also provides support for Teaching Music History Day, an annual event featuring papers, presentations, and discussion sessions.

Initiatives of the PSG include fostering discussion about teaching music history, sharing resources and teaching strategies, and providing a forum within the AMS for considering the role of teaching in our work as musicologists. AMS members who share these interests are invited to attend PSG events and support the group through membership. Join the PSG.
