Describe a recent event you are fond of.
The studio recitals. We have one in the fall and another in the spring.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Go and observe lessons. Find out the teachers background and philosophy. Teachers who work from their own studio are usually better than those who travel. Ask them what they expect to cover in an average lesson.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
They should look at their own time and activities and make sure they have enough time to practice every day. Regular practice on a good instrument is the best way to become proficient. It's about training not fun.
