Choosing a teacher

Here we see several tips that can be useful to choose a good music teacher. The key is the example. The teacher has to play well.  
A phrase from Robert Frip saying "good teacher is the one that connects the disciple with tradition"  illustrates me about this...


"Education is give the body and soul all the beauty and perfection of which are capable". Platón





A- The good teacher has to play well. There has not to be a virtuoso ultra eccentric but have to master your instrument.

People learn by example.

B- The good teacher is not a punch of songs , but should teach students the basics of mastering their discipline. Does not mean that teach repertoire, but should be concerned over the pupil acquire the tools to develop personally.

C- The good teacher does not allow the disciple becane a teacher-dependent for years. The two best teachers who learned knew "cut the cord" on time.

Gustavo Ogara told me one day: "Well, you know  what is necessary, now make your way" and I did not feel like a offense. It as  a demonstration of trust.

Esteban Klisich  said "this is to take my two books, then leave. You  will not be cheated". 

The teacher can not keep the student indefinitely. 

D- The good teacher is calm because he knows you learn in an atmosphere of serenity.
If you are agitated is who is touching him, removed the desire to play. No mean you can not motivate students showing their skills; but it must be measured, the class is to learn. Not a recital ...

E- The good teacher motivates  students on originality. It shows to look your style, not to copy or want to be like their favorite artist.

"You can make copies fantastic; I prefer something less fantastic, but most genuine 
 All world advances have been made by people who thought differently;. No one that repeating the above has moved something."  
Jorge Risi.
