Description
Ever felt a twinge of envy when another teacher says they only work with super-talented, competitive students? In this episode, I unpack why that’s not the dream for me — and why teaching beginners, fostering well-rounded musicians, and embracing variety is not only more rewarding, but more impactful. Whether you're rethinking your studio goals or feeling pressure to “level up” your student roster, this is your permission slip to define success your way.

I feel this and totally agree. I'm a generalist and prefer to teach generalists. My students are people first and musicians second, and a broad range of experiences is good for people.
