This was a brand new experience for me, and I loved every second of it! I learned how to format lessons, differentiate for beginner players, second year players, and third year players, how to fix lots of technical problems for all instruments, and how to assign and assess weekly performance goals. I had a lot of fun with my students, and I absolutely loved those moments when they would get excited because they accomplished something new! Read More

Students can learn just as much from a rock song as they can from a jazz tune, an EDM track, or even classical music. Read More
