Good music teachers are few and far between, so when you find one, do not squander the opportunity!
It is also highly advisable that you choose an instrumental teacher, who has several years of teaching experience under their belt – not one who is “learning on the job!” Make sure the teacher you choose has an open mind and are not stuck in their ways and married to one particular methodology. Ask if they are willing to incorporate their students areas of interest by customising materials to include their preferences as all kids learn at different paces and in their own unique ways. A good music teacher knows that every student is an individual and will recognise this and adjust their teaching style to a students particular needs and skills. Above all, the music teacher or center you choose for your child should have an understanding and appreciation that music should be fun!
The Right Qualifications
Choose a suitably qualified teacher, who has been professionally trained to a high level of competency at an internationally recognized music college or conservatoire with a proven track record. This will ensure that the selected teacher possesses the necessary technical and musical skills, a student emulate the skills of their mentor. If you wish your child to take professional exams, remember to ensure the teacher is accredited by external assessments providers – e.g., ABRSM National High Scorer awardees, scholarship winners, etc.
Above all, look for a teacher who loves their art, for whom nothing is too much trouble, who is always approachable, and one who puts students at ease. Ensuring your child develops a love for music with a teacher who inspires them is one of the greatest gifts we can give our children. Hopefully you can find the perfect fit for your child amongst the many highly recommended music centers below.
