When college music students give lessons, they often find that they learn as much as they instruct.
"It gives me an opportunity to go deeper into what I learn," he said.
Kevin Gosa, Milwaukee graduate student and saxophone performance major, gives saxophone lessons to children and adults. Gosa said teaching gave him a greater understanding of music.
George Duerksen, professor of music and dance, said teaching music lessons was a good way for students to test what they know.
"They can apply their knowledge and talk about those types of things in class," he said.
Gosa said many differences showed between teaching children and adults.
"College students are really busy," he said. "And they're always talking about how much stuff they have to do."
Gosa said children learned much faster, if they are interested in music. If not, he becomes something other than a teacher.
"Then I'm just a really expensive babysitter," Gosa said. He charges $24 an hour.
Sara Holmberg, Lawrence
graduate student in violin performance, said teaching lessons was part of her musical career.
"A lot of people in the competitive violin world realize that teaching, and not performing, takes up most of their time," she said.
Holmberg said teaching lessons enabled her to do something she enjoyed, as well as earn
money.
"It's a lot better than minimum wage," she said.
Holmberg said she tried to have a relaxed attitude about her teaching methods.
"I'm not a really intense teacher who says if you don't do what I say then you're out," she said. "I try to experiment."
Although Gosa said he could
see himself teaching music in some capacity for the rest of his life. Holmberg said she might need a break for a while.
"Being one-on-one with a student can be pretty draining," she said.
