Words of Encouragement to Novice Teachers:
"Jump In! Get with other pc artists, see what they are doing and ask them to let you conduct a tutorial. Ask for feedback. I ask each class what they would like to see and add those suggestions to my teaching style. Take as many classes as you can. I learn something new from every class. Be a sponge!!!"
