FAVORITE TEACHING MOMENT
Watching as a student finds his or her voice through perseverance no matter what age or obstacle they have been presented with. As music instructor/teacher, seeing this improvement of a student’s hard work paying off is one of the most, if not THE most rewarding of gifts and feelings.
