subject: How To Find A Good Violin Teacher [print this page] Parents who are looking for a good violin teacher for their children will appreciate these guidelines to help them determine what qualities they should be looking for. The search for that perfect violin teacher can be really difficult if you don't know what you are looking for.
A parent has the responsibility to determine if his or her child will benefit more from a private lesson or take lessons in a class. He should know better the environment which will encourage his child to want to learn. Enrolling your child in a class or group is good for some students but most children learn better and quicker from having private lessons from a violin teacher.
Just inform us what you believe is best for your child. Firstly, distractions at home can be easily controlled by the parents. The teacher is careful in teaching according to the child' learning pace that is very comfortable for the student whereas learning in a group can be difficult for some learners.
Having a personal violin teacher is advantageous as the teacher is able to form a schedule for themselves in such a way that is best suited to your requirements but when teaching a group this is not possible for the teacher. When a student is learning at home he or she is able to have an individual feedback which helps them immensely to learn faster.
The teacher is able to give all his undivided attention to the student. Many times the child feels shy to ask questions in a group but it is not so when they are learning at home as they feel more confident and comfortable while learning from a private violin teacher. Some are slow learners and so they are unable to keep pace with the rest of the group.
When a parent has found a good violin teacher, it is important that they are interviewed properly and a parent should make it a point to ask these questions in order to make the right choice in their selection.
Does the teacher have enough teaching experience and does she have many accomplishments in her field?
The instructor must have an effective lesson plan with the proper objective for the students. Without proper goals the desired results may not be achieved and so it is important that the violin teacher has a preplanned schedule for himself and the student.
The mode of payment should be clear so as to create no problem later. Parents should also ask how many students the teacher has handled and how well the students are doing so they they establish the level of competence of the teacher. This can be more efficiently done by interviewing other parents of the students who have been taught by this teacher.
The violin teacher should have some personal traits like patience which is a virtue for a teacher and relevant experience in teaching even if they are not great performers.
Are they able to give a good feedback to the learners and their parents and criticize constructively so that it helps the students to improve their performance?
