Please find below information about upcoming performances by your teacher, Mrs. Stafford. Mrs. Stafford is an active performer who collaborates with talented artists in the industry. This constant exposure to top performers continuously enhance her skills and teaching methods.
There is a debate among some individuals about whether being an excellent performer is necessary for being a good teacher. However, as performing musicians, we respectfully hold a different view. Merely instructing students on how to do something is insufficient, as observing a teacher in action allows students to witness and learn proper techniques. Conversely, a teacher's ability to effectively teach may be limited if they are unable to perform, potentially leading to negative consequences in the long run. It proves difficult to unlearn bad habits later on, underscoring the importance of learning from the beginning with a teacher who can demonstrate correct techniques. All the teachers at Stafford Music Studio have a high degree of performing skills, with decades of performance and teaching experiences in their career.
