Learn How To Give Effective Music Instruction

Whether you give guitar lessons, vocal lessons, piano lessons, or any other kind of music instruction, it is important to understand the best way to go about teaching. In spite of the obvious technical differences of teaching different instruments, music instruction works very similarly regardless of the instrument being taught. By understanding the general idea of how music instruction works, you can increase the quality of your lessons, and help your students become great musicians.

One very important concept to understand is that teaching music is 80% about teaching people and 20% about teaching music. This means in order to become a great music teacher, you must really pay close attention to the unique needs of your students (what motivates them, frustrates them, etc). Some students may need a more encouraging approach, and some a more blunt and to the point approach.
