Music Lessons
Traditionally, music teachers have often worked independently from one another, or as a part of the state education system. Over the years however, and increasing number of music schools have started appearing meaning parents have more choice now than ever when choosing the best place for their child to learn music.
What are the advantages of learning at a music school rather than a private teacher? By their very nature, music schools offer students and parents a wider variety of choice. With different teachers on different instruments all coming together under one roof, a music school allows students a degree of flexibility that is simply not possible in a one to one environment. Music schools, like the Forte School of Music still offer private tuition as an option for students, are therefore can offer all the same benefits of an independent teacher, but also can offer a couple of other real advantages for students and parents. |
Teacher's quality and Accountability
In a school environment, teachers need to be selected based on the professional standards they can offer in lessons. This is vastly different from some of the private individuals that start teaching a bit of music just because they have a basic knowledge on an instrument. Music school owners need to make a substantial investment into premises and equipment that mean lessons need to be of the highest standard from all teachers. Teaching Auditions and strict selection processes are able to give parents and students peace of mind.
Lesson continuity. In the music school environment, the school takes responsibility to ensure continuity for students in the long term. Just as with any independent teacher, sometimes tutors’ personal situations change meaning that alternatives need to be found for students. In the music school environment, this becomes the responsibility of the school to find a suitably qualified teacher to maintain the lesson progress.
