CHOOSING an INSTRUCTOR.........
Qualifications are important, of course, but is your instructor really proficient on his or
her instrument? More importantly, can they
really -teach-? This is a talent few musicians have.......and the one most likely to
determine success or failure! A good instructor will:
---Quickly establish a positive rapport with new students (and parents)
---Inspire and motivate their students
---Make learning enjoyable and rewarding, and at the same time
---Provide sufficient challenge and guidance to ensure progress
