<p>The student needs to make the decision about the teacher. DS found that he “clicked” with some (actually most), but didn’t with others. He knew what he was looking for, knew what kind of interactions he felt comfortable with, and knew that he wanted someone who could make him a BETTER player but in a sensitive way. My son has been very lucky to have had outstanding private teachers in college, summer fests and now grad school. He hit the jackpot!! Your musician will know whether they are comfortable with the teacher or not…</p>
