How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching when my now college grad daughter wanted to play the trumpet in elementary school. I've been playing trumpet for decades, so great choice! She kicked butt and others at school wanted to know how she got so good? I'm not taking all the credit because she really wanted to play and not "mess up". She didn't.
What types of students have you worked with?

Choice. You have multiple choices for your needs. Keep this in mind when picking a pro teacher.
