And if the student doesn’t truly want to learn the material, then it’s important to ask why that is, and how to change that mindset—because as “useless” as many students think learning how to, say, calculate an integral or write an essay analyzing Austen is, most of the skills they pick up...

I was a student athlete pretty much my entire life playing football, basketball, baseball or more extravagant surfing, rock climbing, snorkeling, attempting a triathlon. I know that we need an escape sometime from the books so I tend to gravitate to my guitar or the kitchen where cooking and listening to music is refreshing. Like I...

...and LOVE to teach and spread the joy of music! In general, I think learning is best done when the teacher fully understands their student and the way they learn. It is important for me to recognize when a student isn't grasping a concept so that I can immediately change my teaching strategy. A student who grasps things by reading a book will learn different from a student who prefers learning by visuals. With this,...
