Teaching Adults



[This post was written in response to a question from a former student who is a teenager, but is teaching some adults.  Hence the tone of the piece.  If you’re not a teenager, sorry 😊 .  And thank you, thank you, thank you to the adult learners who answered my questions.]

Teaching adults is weird.  For you.  And for them.  It can feel like an odd boundary has been crossed.  After all, they’re older than you, so shouldn’t they be in charge?
Nope.  You’re the expert in your instrument and that’s why they’re coming to you for lessons.

Teaching Scales - part 3 - Advanced Students





Scale Monopoly

I know I found this on a website years ago.  Goodness only knows where.  Google doesn’t.  If I find a reference, I’ll let you know.

The best thing about this game, it incorporates some arts and crafts.
