We both attended music schools and spent lots of time within musical academia, but in the last few months we've been teaching loads of lessons at Lonestar School of Music (Austin, TX) and loving it! In particular, I've (Bobby) spent far less time teaching music in the last 8 years and far more time performing, so it's been fun and challenging to shift gears and find strategies for different students! I've found it to be incredibly rewarding in a way that I never really imagined when I was at college. Getting in at the ground floor of someone's musical development is really cool! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sharingworlds/support
