Do the qualifications or background of a teacher make a difference?
Yes. There are music teachers that have a background of only a general music education degree or bachelor of arts. If a child or adult wants to play an instrument, for the best results, he/she needs a teacher who has studied their instrument in college in performance and has had pedagogy training (training that teachers can acquire in order to enable them to adapt to a student’s way of learning, not a one-size-fits-all approach). Having a teacher who has had performance training in college and pedagogy can give you the instruction you need to learn properly, have good habits and practice strategies, help you progress quickly, and be inspired to reach your goals. All of these put together create the enjoyment that music can bring. If you do not have a teacher who is qualified, you cannot expect to learn properly, practice efficiently, and experience the thrill of making music. Often teachers who have only studied music education have not met performance standards of professional musicia
