Let me know in the Vibrant Music Studio Teachers group on Facebook. I’ll see you there. 🙂
I like the distinction you make between strictness and authority. It’s very true. Children especially need an authoratitive teacher who commands their respect while also allowing time to recover with fun exercises after more serious tasks.
Thanks! Great to hear we’re on the same page.
