As music teachers, it is so important that we teach our students skills other than those learned on a piano or guitar. Teaching them life skills can be valuable and solidify your role as a mentor in their lives. One of the skills that can be valuable is emotional resilience, the ability to pick themselves back up and keep going when they fail. While students will hit boundaries and obstacles that are difficult to overcome, your guidance can help them become who they want to be. Listen in to hear how Mary Mendoza has included these values in her teaching!
