Summary

In this candid episode, I share my insights and experiences of teaching music in your 40s. Drawing from my own journey, I shared very important lessons and how I've became more relaxed, learned to let go of others' opinions, and how I now view challenges as learning opportunities rather than failures. I also talk a little bit about the differences between teaching in my 20s and now, offering valuable lessons for young teachers and those considering getting into teaching later in life. Listen in for an honest, encouraging discussion about growth, change, and staying true to yourself in your teaching journey.
