From Student to Teacher: The Cycle That Keeps Playing

Reflecting on mentorship, resilience, and the transformative power of music education, this TEDx talk traces a journey from struggling freshman percussionist to educator and mentor. Drawing on teaching experiences in underfunded Houston schools, Edgar Leon illustrates how a single moment of encouragement can reshape a student’s sense of belonging, agency, and voice, both in music and beyond.
