The instrument keeps breaking????!!! “Keeps” and “breaking” are not what you associate with a musical instrument. I hope you don’t mean that. Rent a violin from Potter’s, a very good luthier in Takoma Park. Fox is good in VA.

We pay $90/hr in an excellent private studio. If you go to Levine Music, it will probably work out to a similar price, but the teacher will only get a portion of the tuition.

Please avoid teachers who come to you - good teachers do not waste their valuable time driving around, believe me.

We have had the opposite experience; the teachers who have come to our home have been significantly better than the ones we had to drive to, so I wouldn't make a blanket statement either way.[/quote]

I'm in the classical music world. This is incorrect, and means you have had very bad luck with music school teachers or private studios (a few are little better than teachers who come to you), or, and please don't take this the wrong way, you are not able to distinguish between a good teacher and a bad one, yet! That's OK, and it's why teachers who come to families' homes can still make a living :-)

Please ask around and do a little more research. Most teachers at Levine Music are good, for all instruments. International School of Music is a lower tier. If you post the instrument, perhaps someone can point you to excellent private studio teachers.
