29. Pro Tips with Leila Viss

Favorite quote from Leila:
"If I make this fun, I will ENJOY teaching from 3 to 7...This is MY thing that I am going to have fun with. I (can) bring students in and show them that music CAN be fun!"
And she totally got me laughing when we started talking about floppy disks and CD Roms.
Leila sought out creativity and composing herself, and then felt more confident to pass it on to her students including a "buddy lesson" format with off-bench time, where each student learns independently on the ipad.
We also talk about rote teaching, check out a free video demonstration of some rote pieces for the first lesson from Angela: watch
