How did you get started teaching?
I started private piano lessons when I was 7 , I would show my friends how to play songs . That's when I knew I loved to teach .
In High School we had a work program and received credits to work . I chose to work in a day care teaching children's music ,singing and preparing the holiday & graduation programs was fun and a natural fit , this confirmed the direction I've pursue.๐ซ๐น๐ซ๐น๐ค๐น๐ซ๐น๐ซ
