  • While it is important to adapt each lesson approach and plan per student, it is also important to maintain integrity in teaching music and try to avoid cutting corners to make the process easier. Rhythms, subdivisions, intonation, note-reading, awareness of others around if in an ensemble are all valued aspects of music education.
