how do i teach my student?

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

There is this poster in one of musictec edu-centre’s room, teach the child in the way he/she learns…Somewhat true :D speak the language of the child, and he/she will understand you…

Teachers have a responsibility to teach, not just imparting knowledge but rather, nurture and groom, setting a role-model example to our students. Teach them how to “fish” and let their creativity and imagination teach us teachers.

I am amazed at my student Jin Hean’s attitude towards piano lesson, i am pleased to see my students improve on their sight-reading. When i know that my students can sight-reading, they are already “fishing” for themselves…

Sometimes…friendships with students are much more important than grades… do you agree?
