[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking at a new instrument teacher for DD. We had a different teacher and 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... 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]

What do you do, OP? God forbid you be multifaceted and do something different in your spare time than what you do for your day job.[/quote]

I think this is the wrong way to look at it. If you were hiring a reading specialist to help you struggling reader, and you had two teachers to choose from 1) elementary teacher with reading certification who tutors on the side or 2) dog walker with reading certification who tutors on the side, I would pick the teacher.
