I've always been captivated by the complexity and depth of organ music. It has a unique power to evoke emotions and tell stories. Teaching allows me to share this passion and help others explore this incredible instrument.

I assess each student's strengths, weaknesses, and preference for learning. For visual learners, I use sheet music and instructional videos. For auditory learners, we focus on listening and replicating sounds. I also set individualized goals to ensure each student progresses steadily.

One of my students struggled with coordinating foot pedal usage with manual playing. I broke down the process into smaller steps, incorporating specific exercises to enhance coordination. With patience and consistent practice, the student eventually mastered the technique and gained confidence.

I incorporate a variety of music genres, including pieces the students are interested in. Setting short-term and long-term goals provides a sense of achievement. I also use positive reinforcement and celebrate their progress to keep them inspired.

I attend workshops, participate in online forums, and read up on the latest publications in organ music. Networking with other organ teachers and musicians also helps me stay updated and exchange innovative teaching practices.

Technology is crucial in my teaching. I use recording software to offer playback of students' performances, which helps them self-assess. Online resources and virtual teaching tools also allow for a more interactive and flexible learning experience.
