MASTERCLASS Tutor 103i | BECOMING A LYRE TUTOR

Teaching Lyre to Advanced

Everything you need to start teaching lyre to advanced students, mindfully packed into one course: thoroughly tested, effective, smile-inducing, and versatile teaching material, along with practical tips on how to get the most out of your student's learning experience. What's more, this is the second step to becoming a recommended lyre tutor by the LyreAcademy for your local community.
