- How long have you been teaching music and what is your teaching philosophy?I have been teaching music since 2012. I taught at charter schools then opened my own art school. I since have been looking at places to get involved with like YMP. So I am big time thankfully here.My teaching philosophy is we are all students at different levels. I am simply reflecting what I have learned and continue to learn as a student. We have come to call it teaching. If I ask of my student I must ask of myself. Music is math, language, history, reading and science. It’s art. It’s breathing. It’s important for all to be involved with music in some way in life.What is your favorite thing about teaching music?Developing a human. That means the most to me. We develop more than just our music skills when we study. I love seeing the totality of the human grow.What does music mean to you?Music adds color to life. That encompasses a lot.We are coloring pages. The universe is a coloring book. Music the colors.Why is music education important?Education opens doors. Sets no limitations. My ultimate goal with anyone is to make them a lifelong learner. Keep curious. Keep imaginative. Keep creating. Keep learning. Music education is just nourishment for all the good stuff.About Joseph:In 1997 Joseph started his music and art career. His father and mother personally managed their son.
