We're thrilled to share a new installment of our Passing the Teacher Torch Q&A series, proudly sponsored by KHS America! This time, Lessonface instructor Zach Marley reflects on the meaningful influence teachers have on their students and invites his former student Eddie Gonzalez to share his perspective.
I was asked to comment on the importance of the role of teachers in the lives of their students. The following are responses to a series of interview-style questions answered by one of my former students, Sarah Anne Wolkowski, whom I taught from the age of 12 until she left for college. It was during that transition that our relationship evolved, as she became more of a mentee and I, her mentor. Sarah has crafted a career as an influential saxophonist, teacher and writer.
We’re probably a little biased but, truth be told, we’re proud of the teachers that make up the Lessonface community. All are fantastic instructors, but many also continue to record and perform in addition to their work as educators.
Luckily, our talented bunch also happens to be quite web savvy (which is why they love to teach music online) and many like to share their performances. We’ve curated some Lessonface teacher recordings and music videos from across the Internet that we think you’ll enjoy. Enjoy!
