We also delved into Garreth’s journey from the UK to Germany, his thoughts on modernizing music exams, and his passion for using music as a tool for personal expression. Whether you're a music educator or simply passionate about the art of teaching, Garreth's insights are sure to inspire and invigorate your approach.
