[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking at a new instrument teacher for DD. We had a different teacher and [b]just felt it wasn't a good fit culturally: very laidback, not enough focus on technical training, no thought to building performance experience for the kids.[/b].. I found another teacher who is from a similar cultural and musical background and has a lot of classical training and past experience teaching the instrument. Which is great!

However, this new teacher also has a day job in an unrelated field. I have no idea the hours of this day job and I think its sort of a small family business. What say you, DCUM? Is having an instrument teacher with a non-musical day job, ok? DD is still fairly young and has been playing her instrument just under a year.[/quote]

Good fit "culturally" ==} The teacher wasn't demanding enough for OP, and didn't make her kid nearly miserable enough.  [/quote]

Actually she’s not miserable at all. I have her the choice to stay or try a new teacher and she wants to switch. DD is pushing herself and setting her own practice times. And yes there are certain schools and methods which demand more rigor so we are trying that this time. [/quote]
