[quote=Anonymous]If you class music education as a top 1-2 priority for you, what makes you stick with a child’s instrument teacher vs move on? Was it a certain age, after a set time, or would you move on if you might have stumbled upon other opportunities?

Currently struggling with this decision with DS7.

Pros:
-Current music school location is 5-10min away
-Teacher is gentle 
-DS enjoys it (but honestly enjoys everything so would be fine to switch)
-If DS ever wants to switch to viola (more opportunities and less competitive), he will be well placed to learn

Cons:
-DS is learning violin but teacher’s background is viola
-teacher is gentle (doesn’t really push)
-Teacher isn’t known for performance and isn’t a “star”, though he does have a background in music ed

Other school
Pros:
-I know some professionals have come out of the school
-They have several superstars and people with decades of experience and musical “chops” on faculty 
-I would insist on a violinist, not a violist 
-cons: more expensive and further away
