Motivation and devotion make great musicians. I started acquiring teaching experience in my last year of my education as part of my requisites to graduate. I was accepted into the Elemental Art School in Cuba, where my students were about 7 to 14 years old.

This will really help develop a great internal sense of rhythm and help students recognize immediately when something needs correcting. Read More
