10. Our Performance Training is unparalleled.
- PROOF - I taught at different music school's in Austin for 10 years, before Founding Band Aid and was shocked how many teachers wouldn't go the extra mile to teach performance. The only way you can teach it is to create performance opportunities for each student. There are so many great learning opportunities for the pro, wanna-be pro or causal learner by putting you in a performance situation. That’s why we do it and we do it a lot! Our students get all the benefits of private lessons and learn how to put that knowledge into action.
