[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.
