Word -of-mouth is a good process to use to grow a list of possible music teachers for your child or yourself. As experts remark, laymen in the community might not be able to judge the musical value of the instruction, but they definitely know which teachers are producing students who love music. The local music teachers association can also give names of certified instructors. You may ask for a calendar of recitals being given by students of these suggested teachers. Attending a recital given by a teacher's students can tell you quite a bit. Were the students melodious—or mechanical? Were they well-prepared? Did they appear pleased with what they were able to do? University or college music departments normally have information about local music teachers. And musicians who teach in the public schools know teachers who can append your child's instruction in the school orchestra or band with private lessons. Additionally, well-informed staff in music stores can direct you to good teachers.
The method of teaching and learning, particularly when done one-on-one, is subtle and complex. A comfortable personality match is vital when searching for a music teacher.
