Private Teacher Selection

 

Choosing a private music teacher for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make. In order to help you get started in your selection process here are a few questions to ask each individual teacher.

 

  • From what musical institution did you receive your music education?
  • How long have you been teaching music privately?
  • Describe the goals you have set for your private students.
  • Do you present recitals? What other performance opportunities are your students exposed to? Do you enter your students in contests or competitions?
  • How much daily practice do you request of your students?
  • How long is the music lesson?
  • What is the fee per music lesson?
  • What other expenses should I be aware of in addition to books, materials, contests fees, etc.?
  • Can missed lessons be make up? Is there a penalty for missed lessons?
  • May I please request two references from parents whose children have studied with you (for at least five years if possible)?
