Most kids will take an interest in a musical instrument whilst growing up; some however will be more interested than others. So, when you are fortunate enough to have a child who loves music, you need to find the best teacher for the job. Below are some tips on finding a cello instructor; these tips can be followed for any instrument.
You first port of call when looking for a music teacher is your local school. Here, you will a music department and you will often have access to very affordable single or group classes. Ask about lessons here first, and when they cannot offer them ask for advice on private tutors.
However, when you are looking for a tutor for cello or piano or any other instrument, you need to be prepared to pay out quite a lit. You can ask at the school of your child for a list of private tutors, or alternatively you may like to ask at your local music store. Both these places often have lists of recommended private tutors.
Teachers that come recommended by your local music store will be teachers with a lot of experience; however you do need to make sure that they will cater for a child. The way a child learns a musical instrument is different to that of an adult; so always take this into consideration. You may also like to look in your local pages for recommendations.
However, if you really are not able to find a teacher by local recommendation, you can look online too. You will be able to get results in a second when you look online; but once again you need to remember to check that not only are they qualified but that they are also qualified to teach kids and that they have great reviews.
What you need to do is draw up a shortlist of possible teachers for your child. Only when you have a few names should you then go on and phone them to ask about their prices as well as their teaching methods. What you have to be sure of more than anything else is that the teacher is up to date with methods for teaching to children and not just adults.
So, you should take some time to make your decision, and then arrange for a first lesson. You should never pay in advance for lots of lessons; then when your son or daughter is not happy you can simply try a different tutor until you find one that you are really happy with. Swapping teachers should not cause an inconvenience and you will often have to do so until you find one that you really like.
Most importantly, you need to ask your child if they are happy with their lessons and their teacher. If they are bored and do not like the method used, then they will often give up. Many children give up on learning an instrument because they do not bond with their tutor; so listen to their opinion and make sure you use only the very best tutor for the job.
