Teaching Music as a Tool for Learning

There are so many ways a musician can reinforce what they learn throughout their music career. The best way to maintain your basic level is to continue to teach music. It is a great way to verbalize what you know, so that it is a reminder to you of what you keep as you perform, yourself.

Even though I took many music classes in the past, teaching for me really reinforced the music theory part because I would be writing the music, creating examples, playing them, singing them. It's like writing a book. You explore your thinking and develop new ideas and express them in a certain way.

With teaching, you are always learning. You also will receive response from your audience and possibly, develop new ideas to tack your lessons.
