Finding
the Right Teacher
When considering the kind of music teacher
you need for your child
you should keep in mind the following questions.
1.
Does the teacher really enjoy working with children?
2. Can the teacher communicate more difficult concepts
in simple terms?
3. Is the teacher really experienced in his/her craft?
4. Does the teacher express a genuine love for the music
they teach?
These are general guidelines to
consider when looking for a music teacher for your child.
A teacher that is impatient will certainly cause your child
more stress than is necessary. Fear of letting the teacher
down is not the best motivator. Bluegrass music should never
be hard and complicated, hence any of the more difficult concepts
should be easily simplified by the teacher. An experienced
teacher is a teacher that can convey a great deal of knowledge
based on having been in the trenches playing music. You don't
necessarily need a teacher who has toured the world and recorded
a dozen CDs to teach your child well. But a teacher with combat
experience has an edge that many don't. If a teacher truly
loves the music they are teaching, it will have a great impact
on inspiring the child to fall in love with the music as well.
Remember, enthusiasm is contagious.
