Hi Mark,

Your approach sounds wonderful. I'm sure that your students are fortunate.

Breezy, that sounds right to me! That's my approach.

Questions please. (To everyone)

Do you have a limit as to how many people you can teach at one time?

How do you handle the ones that tend to want to take over to the detriment of the group?

How do you integrate the various aspects, singing, playing, different instruments and playing levels?

How much printed material do you use?

What styles of music do you teach? (We concentrate on accessible but traditional folk music staying away from the more contemporary or pop-oriented stuff).

What sources do you use for song material?

How do you approach musical "improvisation"?

Thanks for your responses.
