[quote=Anonymous]Retired Violin teacher with 30 years here: All of my colleagues were professional players as well as teachers. We all understand that not everyone can practice daily. None of us were impressed with "Russian style" teaching which btw isn't really a thing. We did frequently discuss parents and their unrealistic ambitions for their kids which often kacked in authentic appreciation for the very music the purported to value. OP : call and ask the teachers what their expectations are and how they run their recitals. There should be one recital a year. It helps motivate the students. You can also find a graduate performance major. We were all teaching while in school. I taught my first student when I was 16 and had entered college on scholarship. Positive exposure on the first engagement is always good. [/quote]
