• Design curriculum and lesson plans from scratch, with compensated planning time built into your hours
• Demonstrate techniques clearly, guide students through practice, and give corrective feedback in real time
• Integrate biblical worldview naturally throughout your teaching, helping students see music as part of God's creative design, not as an add-on devotional
