Re: Who would you rather teach?

As a career teacher who has taught all levels of student, gradeschool through college, I have found teaching beginning students to be the most rewarding. That is not to say that teaching older students does not have its rewards, it is simply that more progress can be seen from a beginers first "sounds" to their first public performance, than at any other level. From not knowing how to hold the instrument until "opening the show" with the "Star Spanngled Banner" is almost a miracle in the minds and ears of the parent, and a joy to behold for the teacher.

Count my vote for teaching elementary school beginners.
