How Teaching Music Improved My Own Musicianship
03/17/25 • 24 min
This year marks 25 years since I started teaching piano, composition, theory, and (for a while) French horn. There's a lot I've appreciated about being a teacher, but one of the benefits is that it made me a better musician! In this episode, I share what I've learned about being a teacher and how I've benefitted in my own playing and understanding as a musician.
Musicianship Mastery is formerly known as The Musician Toolkit.

If any of these statements describe your learning experience with your instrument, you're not alone. In this episode, I'll offer an explanation for why you're feeling this way and give you 5 steps you can take to stop feeling like you're behind and to thrive once again in your practice!
