WHAT IS MY PHILOSOPHY OF TEACHING MUSIC?
Because of my love of music and of teaching music, my philosophy of teaching music includes the following;
- Learning music should be fun!
- Lessons should cover learning a variety of styles of music.
- Students should learn music theory to play better and know why things are done as they are.
- Students should be allowed to have a say in some of the pieces they learn.
- Students should be allowed to be creative in music.
- Students should receive rewards for work they accomplish.
WHAT DO PIANO LESSONS LOOK LIKE AT EMS?
