- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Ask the teacher about their educational background and whom they studied with. Also ask about whom their teachers studied with. I can trace my teachers directly back to Beethoven himself. Make sure that the teacher stresses proper hand position from the very beginning. Also, technique and theory must be included as well as the repertoire. You want a teacher who connects with his students, and loves what he does. If the teacher has a website (as I do) you can actually see pictures of his students. I also have pictures of my teachers on my website. You should get the best teacher available for the beginner. The worst mistake you can make is to start with a mediocre teacher and take the attitude that the teacher is good enough for now. No, you want the best teacher from the very beginning.
