Context

I’ve always been ardent about teaching, hence why I’ve been teaching most of my life; I started when I was 11 years old with writing and public speaking engagements, which evolved into private and public tutoring/teaching. I then commenced my own music teaching business at the age of 14 after my parents encouraged me to monetize my affinity with music. My first music lessons began at 9 years old. I’m no prodigy, but I can play a tune or two. When I began teaching music, the first instrument I taught was the piano. The second instrument I taught was beginner guitar.
