Lauren Bateman explains why she loves teaching guitar: it lets her help others achieve long-held goals and discover what inspires them. She describes guitar as an expressive outlet that gave her a voice growing up in a strict household where opinions were discouraged, and says she enjoys guiding students to find their own motivations for learning.
The reason I love teaching guitar is because I love helping other people do something that they've always wanted to do. And I know for me, guitar is very important because it gave me a voice when I was younger. Because I grew up in a very strict household, opinions weren't really allowed or allowed to be had. So the guitar was an expressive outlet for me and helped me get a lot of emotions out. So I know the guitar for everyone has its own unique reason and purpose. So I love helping people find whatever it is that inspires and motivates them to learn the guitar.
