- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Go for teachers who teach students because they love music and teaching. Stay away from teachers who make you feel they are just doing “business” and care more about money rather than your passion. Also go for teachers who can demonstrate advanced knowledge of the subject - try asking them any questions you are curious about music to get a sense. Look at the RESULTS of the teacher = their students. Many teachers can play very well themselves, but top teachers have many students who can play very well.
