I am loving teaching! I have so much joy every day. Getting to instill kindness and compassion through music is a blessing. UB showed me the importance of finding yourself and finding a more true version of yourself by embracing others and their differences. Not only is this a powerful thing musically, but it is the epitome of effective teaching.
