Testimonial from Andrea (experienced violin teacher): "Teach Music 21C continuing discussion groups and professional development sessions have really boosted my teaching! It has transformed my teaching into a more collaborative, insightful approach. I'm far more sensitive to my students' needs and learning processes with the tools I've learned through the certification. I'm very excited to see my students embracing their music through the opportunity to make their own repertoire choices."
