A couple of tips from Practicing Sucks, But It Doesn’t Have To

It’s never too early or too late to learn to play a musical instrument.  Choosing the BEST instrument to learn takes some thought, and realistic motives.

When you look for a music teacher, look for the best your dollars can afford. 

Check the teacher’s credentials. Call the local colleges, call the musician’s union, call the local orchestras. Don’t just choose some neighborhood teacher with very old-fashioned ideas, or one who is very young and inexperienced.  The neighborhood kid who will come to your house for practically no money and give lessons, could do more harm than good, and could turn you or your child away from music for years. 

Look for the best you can afford, and then go get it.  You’ll be glad you did.
