I just don't want to waste my time and money, and I know theres some private teachers here, so I'd very much like your input. If you would identify yourself as a teacher or not, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks in advance! |
You should read "Arnold Jacobs the Legacy of a Master" it has some articles writen by pros that took lessons from Jacobs over the years. These were some of the top players that were still making gains in their playing.
BTW:
I think peer evaluation is great if you are playing a 52 week a year orchestra, if not seek out other advice.
