Bio:

Key Take Aways:
  • View your teaching as more than generic music lessons, but focus on ways that you can make real change in students
  • Charge what you're worth, and what the value of what you are providing is worth. Think about the value of a music education, and don't sell yourself short
  • Understand the value of what you as a teacher are providing
  • Don't assume at-home practice is happening, or being done in an effective way
  • Understand the value on holding your students accountable
  • Put the most effort into creating the kind of experiences that students and their families will really remember for a long time
