After our presentation, Dr. H and I converse with a music teacher from the audience. As private, independent teachers, it is great to have an outlet (like a conference...or a blog) for discussing the students in our studio who need a little extra motivation. One new idea may revolutionize our approach to those students! How helpful it is to assess our students' learning styles and gear our teaching toward their needs. In a nutshell, we can't force the student to fit the program, but we can make the program fit the student!

Your presentation at MTNA was helpful. Thank you. I have referenced my notes while teaching.
I have looked into Keith Golay's learning styles since I heard your presentation. It has been a nice challenge to keep me on my toes in my teaching. I am finding that my students really do fall into Keith Golay's patterns. Some of them fall into more than one of his categories, but overall, it's been fun to assess their learning styles. Thanks for your work!
