Are parents
welcome in a lesson?
Generally, prenents attending
lessons is not recommended. Here is why:
- studio space is inadequate
- development of independence is
encouraged
- the student/teacher relationship is
simply that-one on one-not a triad
- the tendency of an observer is to
participate by interjecting
- this is generally not helpful
- this is generally distracting to the
teacher's ability to focus on the needs of the student
- this is generally distracting to the
student's ability to concentrate
- the student is generally learning how
to prepare music and have it stand up to the evaluation
of one person-two people is a leap
- parent suggestions often conflict with
the teachers experience and agenda (if there is one)
- such conflict creates difficulties
between the student and teacher
- there are ways that parents can
"support" their child's private lesson work and
practice.
- these methods can be discussed with
the teacher
- these methods will be published on
