Hello, I'm new to this guild and I wanted to say that no one has been active in the musician's section! How come?? I'm going to change that. I'm a very active musician, and I want it to change. I'd like to see what other peope have experienced in their music classes. Evaluate all of your music teachers you've ever had, or if you only want to evaluate one, then use the previous one. Please. smile I plan to become a Choral director, so I'd like to see what to do to be a good teacher or what not to do to be a bad one. Thanks!!

I've had a lot of, like, school music teachers cause I've moved a lot and some have moved themselves, so I'll go down the list:
Mr. Powers: Awesome music teacher. I had him from 2-4 grade, and he got me into rock and roll because he would always play it when we did activities durring the end of school and... yeah. Awesome dude. 8 stars.
My next two music teachers I didn't really care for, just cause they were a little more strict or were a little more into, like, new age and older stuff, which is fine, but I liked Mr. Powers better. 5 stars.
As for my guitar instructures, I've had two, because one moved to Korea to teach English and I now have his best friend, who was his replacement.
Wayne, the first guy, was awesome. He wasn't strict, but you held a huge respect for him because he was an awesome guy that you don't want to let down. He taught me the basics to guitar, challenged me to do things by myself, and was just a fun guy to talk to.
Now Adam is my new guitar councillor. He pritty much picked up where Wayne left off, but at the same time built up more of his own ideas that he taught me so that I would get a better feel for the guitar later on. He riddles everything with Guitar Theory, but keeps it simple so I'm not chewing off a whole cow at a steak dinner. Tedious stuff, but everything is challanging durring the beggining of the work. I'd give both 10 stars.

Be a challenger, but not too hard; be strict, but not overly strict where people hate you; use your own ideas for teaching, but using others a little bit is good too. Thanks!

misses edwards
best teacher I have had in general, the way she teaches is very calm and there is also the fact that she wants to boost our schools arts section for the simple fact that it is often left to the side most of the time because its all about the sports and academics and what-not, she plans to change that in a positive way. she is also one of the nicest people you will ever meet and she can often talk to the students and become friends with them in one day.
I give her a 5 out of 5(adam sessler style, booya)

Mrs Piscitello
I have had Mrs P for... this is my third year... Mrs P rocks, she trains some students to run her cd player durring chorus for 2 reasons 1) it saves her a lot of trouble 2) it helps students understand that she trusts them to be responsible, From this example I would take that you should let students do things, even if they have the potential to ruin that, because it shows that you trust that they are responsible and trustworthy
2. Ms P is always willing to talk to you about anything, whether it be suggestions, for you or her, or to just chat, I would be willing to take suggestions from the students, even if you don't use the suggestions, and always be willing to talk to the students
3. Mrs P lets kids bring in their own cds to play (providing that the cd is edited of course) I think that this lets the kids know that although she may not listen to their kind of music that she is willing to try it at least once (even though she listens to just about everything and it's pretty rare for a student to bring something in she hasn't heard before)
Mrs P is the best teacher I have ever had and I really admire her, and she inspired me to become a music teacher too! mrgreen
Here are my views: Try to treat your students as equals and understand their views even if they're younger than you.
Try not to be too strict, but strict enough so you can control the class
Try to always have pencils handy, students have a way of forgetting pencils...
Try not to choose favorites...

It really depends on how music is taken seriously here. Most of the people are here to play games and discuss about games and pop culture. Music is not confined to either pop or classical. It should be all-encompassing. We may take it like Argentinian Tango music by Piazzolla. I am greatly enthralled of its expression. The crux is diversity. Not just specialty only. dramallama

i say that really pop isn't just one type of music, pop is just popular music. As for most pop, it's alternative music, or punk

Music teachers should inspire. The ones that push their own idea of what music should be. My biggest problem with music teachers is just that. Many of them do not allow students to develop a sound or a style that may at first be set apart from the rules. Music has become so safe...to be a true artist, you have to push the boundaries. That's what I think...anyway. idea

That's what I think...anyway. idea That is a very good point. In fact some of the greatest composers are ones that were rule breakers. I can't think of who it is off the top of my head but there was a specific composer who avoided the original rules of counterpoint which threw everyone into a tizzy. Though if it hadn't been for him or others who changed the ideas of music we would still be in the renassaince era of music.
