Description

In this episode, I delve into the age-old debate: does one need to be an exceptional musician to teach music effectively? Join me as I share personal anecdotes, discuss the impact of teaching at different stages of a student's development, and explore the importance of exposing students to musical excellence. From my experiences with students to reflections on my own teaching methods, this episode is packed with insights for musicians, teachers, and anyone interested in the art of teaching.
