Miss G with Little House of Music says, "BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU SELECT YOUR CHILD'S MUSIC TEACHER!"
Parents keep in mind that not one of the private music teachers in the USA have to be fingerprinted, a background check done on them or have a state licence giving proof that they even know any music! "BEWARE"
Isn't this just terrible? Anyone can say they are a private music teacher, YES, ANYONE!
When selecting a music teacher for you child"
Ask for recommendations from others in the community who are professionally involved with music themselves.
Ask for the teacher's credentials (if they have any!!!!!!!)Does he or she have a degree in music and in the instrument the person teaches? Does the teacher belong to any organizations dedicated to improving the quality of teaching?
Ask the teacher to play a song or several songs for you!!!!!!!!!!
What results have the teacher's students achieved? Have any won awards?
Are there performance opportunities for your student?
What is the fee? If it seems like a bargain beware! A fee often reflects the value a teacher puts on them self.
DO NOT choose a music teacher just because they live close to you!
MOST OF ALL KEEP IN MIND THAT WHOMEVER YOU CHOOSE AS A MUSIC TEACHER FOR YOUR CHILD DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE ANY RESTRAINTS DONE ON THEM. (Mrs. Smith who likes little boys and has had three years of piano lessons when she was a child decides to start teaching piano lessons!)BEWARE!
Never allow your child to go into a little room with a music teacher alone. Never just drop off your child. If the teacher doesn't want you to stay during the lesson---BEWARE!
I personally have written letters to the President, Governors every Senator, Representative to go before the legislative session to bring this matter to their attention. I have written to John Walsh, CNN, Fox, Nancy Grace just to name a few! I will never quit!!! PRIVATE MUSIC TEACHERS NEED TO BE FINGERPRINTED, A BACKGROUND CHECK DONE ON THEM AND HAVE A STATE LICENCE TO BE QUALIFIED TO TEACH YOUR CHILD!
PLEASE-if anyone out there reading this has any ideas to help me get this problem solved please write to me. http://www.littlehouseofmusic.com/
THE CHILDREN IN THE USA NEED US TO PROTECT THEM. HOW COULD THIS PROBLEM BE OVERLOOKED FOR SO LONG IN THE USA?
