Should music teachers teach private lessons?

February 17, 2014 by Taca

Music lessons are the formal instructions provided for playing a certain musical instrument or singing. The lesson can be of two types; the private lesson and the semi private lesson in which the music teacher teaches groups of two of four students. A typical private music lesson is one in which a single student is involved with the teacher. The training session lasts for 30 minutes to 1 hour for a period of weeks or even years.

Private music lesson are more popular as the student who is really interested about music needs the calm space to absorb the skills that are taught. There are several benefits of private music lessons. In the private sessions the student gets the opportunity to clarify reasons behind their interest more openly as compared to group lessons. There are students who may find it difficult to communicate about their individual thoughts in the presence of their co-learners. Privacy enables them to open up their mind and feel free to express whatever pops up in their mind. There is no peer pressure in a private music lesson; the student never feels the tension of perfect performance as there is no one to laugh at their silly mistakes.

The parents of the students of music prefer private lessons because of some less obvious benefits. When your child takes private music lesson from the music teacher, the child can overcome the obstacles without your help as the teacher is there to help out. The child learns to cope with difficulties along with the strategies to solve the various problems. The individual student performs in the presence of none else but the teacher and this method helps in the development of integrity, self honesty and accountability. There is much scope for the application of self discipline as there are no classmates to share the discipline regime. They can prepare for the assignments independently.
The teacher is able to concentrate fully on a single student, which is not possible in the group lessons. There is no scope of overlooking the student who is struggling with a certain concept in the private lesson sessions. The student is able to pursue the individual interest as there is no one else to interrupt. The teacher does not have the pressure to finish a certain part of the lesson in a fixed time to keep the class schedule intact. Music teachers are able to instruct the individual student in the way that is most comfortable for the student to absorb the skill. This cannot be done in the group lesson simply because the teacher has to stick to a particular method in order to maintain the uniformity of the group. In case a particular student is naturally gifted with the musical skills, it becomes hard to carry on the lesson in a group, because the student is forced to follow the speed of the co-learners.

Private music lesson provides with the one-to-one relationship and it is the best method to develop the individual skill of the learner.
