Why Finding the Right Music Instructor Matters

Leave a comment

 

Why Finding the Right Music Instructor Matters

Choosing to enroll your child in music education expands their life in a multitude of ways. From developing musically, gaining meaningful relationships, and increasing confidence, music lessons can enrich a child’s happiness, and overall well-being. These positive developments result from a great learning environment, created by the right teacher. As instructors of music specialize in different genres, come from various backgrounds, and have different teaching methods, finding the right music instructor for your child is key to their success in any music program.

Create a Healthy and Respectful Relationship

The right teacher for your child should be able to cultivate a healthy and trusting relationship, right out of the gate. Entering any sort of class for the first time can be a daunting experience for a child, so a teacher should be welcoming and thoughtful of the child’s needs. Musicians are passionate individuals, and this passion and enthusiasm flows into their teaching, as well. Children can pick up on people’s personalities rather quickly, and their gut feeling will tell them whether they are comfortable, or not.

Develop Skills

When learning any new skill, there will always be difficult criticisms that must be communicated in order for a student to improve. A good teacher will be able to point out these weak points or errors, without being harsh. Successful music teachers believe in encouragement, and the power of kindness in any learning situation. These characteristics and skills help instructors to focus on a child’s abilities, and inspire them to continue practicing and developing their musical abilities. Using innovative teaching methods, targeted for each student’s individual learning style, music educators work to help students improve at their own rate, towards their desired outcome.

How to Find the Right Instructor

Finding the right instructor for your child will come from effectively communicating with potential educators, and asking the right questions. Speak thoroughly with potential instructors before enrollment, and ask relevant questions, such as:

• Are you accommodating to different learning styles?
• Can you help my child find the right instrument?
• Do you instruct the style of music that my child is interested in?
• Which ages do you generally teach?
• What sort of programs do you, or the school, offer?

Just because a music instructor has a music related degree, does not necessarily mean that they will be a good teacher. More likely, good teachers will have great people skills, a wide range of experiences, exposure to a variety of instruments and musical styles, and work in collaboration with other musicians.

When a student is entering a music instruction program for the first time, teachers should take the time to discuss their interests and goals, to find the right instrument for them. Many instructors will offer the opportunity for beginners to try out different instruments so they can get a feel for what instruments best suits their personality and is easiest to express themselves through.

The instructors at Groove Academy – School of Music in Winnipeg, MB possess both the experience, and the skill set, necessary to provide students of all ages with a successful musical education. With a wide-range of beginner programs, like guitar, vocal, violin, and woodwinds, Groove Academy strives to inspire all students to practice and learn to the best of their abilities.
