Question: Tell me about your favourite music or drama teacher!.!?
I want to know about your favourite teacher, whether in school or private lessons!. What was your favourite thing about them, why did you like them so much, how much did you learn from them, and most importantly, how did they affect your life outside of what they were teaching you!?

For me, my favourite teacher would have to be my old private violin teacher!. She taught me a lot of techniques and songs, but she also taught me that music is about more than notes and chords!. She taught me that music comes from the soul, and if you don't love it there's no sense in trying because you won't put the passion into it!. She was great; we had the perfect balance between student and teacher, but we were, and still are, really good friends!. She is a professional performer, and I love to go see her shows and support her!. Watching her perform is like nothing I've ever seen!. The music just flows from her and seems effortless!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

My favorite teacher!? I've known him since I started playing my trumpet!. He started out as my teacher and my private lessons teacher!. He was incredible at playing and I wanted to reach levels beyond what anyone around me was accomplishing!. I admired him a lot, which was part of the drive that got me to be really good that year!. He made me nervous so I always had to perform whenever I had lessons!. his got me used to being under stress when playing!. He taught me how to play my horn, and tweaked my individual performance!. His teaching style matched perfectly with my learning style!. I need a good kick in the **** when I slack off, and was never afraid to tell me when I was sucking!. He is professional, but is completely down to earth with all of his students, everyone likes hanging in his office and everyone respects and likes him!. I mainly hope to take when he does and apply it to my own hopeful career of being a Band Director!. He's my role model!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
