Beginning Piano With Josh Casey
1 Review
I really don't like to move on until a student gets it. Sometimes it's too hard and you have to move on and then later on it circles back and clicks in place but most often I want them to understand before we move on to the next thing. That's really important to me. I guess what i'm trying to say is I try to be very patient.
