I would always follow each student progresses at his or her own pace. I encourage this by setting realistic goals for my students at each lesson. Acknowledging accomplishments helps fuel students desire to progress, and makes students eager to learn more.

When it comes to piano theory, I would reward them with a sticker on their homework page that is completed on time. Read More

Even from the onset, you should make the kinds of music, style, and sounds you like the most. Read More
