Teaching music is a unique and effective way to encourage and awaken the potential of the minds and hearts of the students. Throughout my teaching experience, I have learned that singing and performing gives students affirmation and confidence to succeed. It is a beautiful way to come together.

In addition, it offers an opportunity to provide an awareness of how music directly affects a young person’s interactions with society. I believe a teacher should always maintain an open and affirming communication with their students at all times. Together we can offer the inspirational knowledge of music to the community and each other by teaching, listening, creating, imagining, and doing.
