Find a Music Teacher

NCTM (Nationally Certified Teacher of Music)
ASP (Arizona Study Program participating teacher)

To find a good teacher/student fit, a personal interview is important. Here are some suggested questions:

• What method (i.e. what type of instruction books) do you use?
• How long are lessons?
• What are your practice and performance requirements?
• Do you hold recitals?
• How much is tuition?
• Do their students participate in local, state or national competitions? Has the teacher had any winners?
• Discuss your goals as a student to determine if the teacher finds these goals achievable.
• Do your students participate in the Arizona Study Program?
• How do you approach a student "like me"? (beginning, intermediate, old, young, transfer, etc.)
• What is your approach to teaching theory, sight reading, and keyboard harmony?
• Do you teach musical styles such as jazz, improvisation, traditional, electronic, etc?
• Can you provide some names of students as references?
