Do you want to know what my secret weapon is in my studio? What aids me most in helping my students?? The fact that I’m a student too!!

As I work towards increasing my qualifications every year ... I know what it’s like to be a student!! I understand the things they feel as they work through new challenges. I have a teacher too!!! And I get it!!

I’m able to bring a level of empathy into my studio and meet my students “where they are at”. I can spot things .... because I go through them too.

Lifelong learning keeps our minds sharp - our teaching nimble and relevant!!

GAMES! Bringing games into lessons is a fantastic way to help students reinforce their learning! They see the concepts in a different - FUN way that helps them STICK!! My students enjoy spending some time with games - learning notes, theory, rhythm, You name it!

Not to mention - if there is a student who has the wiggles - this gets them off the bench and doing something different.

I learned from a very young age to quiet my voice.... to push it far deep inside of me and not let it escape. I instead bega...
