I believe strongly that curiosity is the greatest catalyst for learning. A student learns best when they the subject interests and excites them. Therefore my first task as a teacher is to select repertoire that the student loves and that is appropriate for their skill level and developmental trajectory. Many teachers will force their students to practice soulless, irrelevant technical exercises. This very often causes the student to resent music altogether, forfeiting what could have been a lifelong passion. Read More
