TUITION
What to look for in a music teacher
When looking for a music teacher it is important to have a comfortable and friendly relationship. The teacher would be able to gauge the student's current level and teach at a pace and in a way that the student can follow. Good communication and input from the student is important to an enjoyable experience.
