David:
Teaching others, Amen to that Kat.
I've learned so much about guitar playing, the instrument, and music theory in general through teaching others, and I suspect I may never have bothered with some of it were it not required knowledge to teach others.
Brian:
Thanks Kat,
Reading out loud to someone is a good way to improve reading and retention.
Matt:
Good info!
My new job here in CA is Chief Instructor at my military occupation school.
This will be a good reminder to me as I teach and evaluate others.
