Do you change your teaching style with the music?

We teach in the mood of the piece we teach.

This doesn't matter much when you teach a happy piece, because you'll speak to your student in a light and relaxed ton of voice.

But it is important for you to be aware of it when you teach a dramatic and emotional piece, so that you keep yourself in check and remain calm and in control.

Otherwise, you may just scare your students away.
