In this Episode, Edmund discusses the teacher-parent relationship and the importance of ongoing dialogue. Preparing a concise written teaching philosophy statement can help establish a solid foundation for the relationship, outline the many benefits of learning to play a musical instrument, and facilitate continued discussion and growth. The role of parents should be defined and, in the initial meeting, it is essential for the teacher to listen attentively as parents articulate their reasons for exploring the possibility of lessons for their child, talk about their own musical experiences, their expectations and the support and encouragement they will provide.
