1. PERSONALITY

A extraordinary music teacher or coach should have the ability to engage their students on a personal level. To cultivate that kind of relationship, coaches must have an engaging personality that makes the learning experience fun. At Clarendon Hills Music Academy, this is the first quality we look for in any of the teachers we hire.

2. PASSIONATE

Many music teachers stumble into teaching as a last resort or as a plan B to a performance career that never took off. This kind of music teacher, someone who teaches out of necessity rather than passion, can fall short when it comes to inspiring their students. The key to finding awesome music lessons is to find the music coaches who incorporate their passion for music and performing directly into the lesson experience.

3. PLAN OF ATTACK FOCUSED

Too often “Old World” music instructors hijack a method book series and call it their own teaching system. Most of the one size fits all methods often fail to inspire and engage students. Successful music teachers develop their own teaching system that combines multiple outside materials with their own passion and life experience.

4. PROFESSIONAL MINDSET

Sometimes musicians and artists can drop the ball when it comes to running their teaching business. Successful music teachers know the importance of dependability. Embracing the art of organization and professionalism is a must.

5. PIONEERING APPROACH

At Clarendon Hills Music Academy, we love to strike a balance between skill building and the creative elements of music. Our music teachers honor traditional music skills by teaching great technique, sight-reading, and music theory while embracing the art of song writing, improvisation, and ear training. To constantly engage students and help them improve their skills, our music coaches incorporate a variety of musical genres and new recording technology into their lesson plans.

6. PURPOSE DRIVEN

At Clarendon Hills Music Academy, we understand that students must feel a sense of purpose when it comes to playing a musical instrument. If you can find what truly moves a student or what naturally drives them, you will ultimately inspire the student want more. We believe that the energy and excitement from each lesson must transcend beyond the 30 minutes. Finding the students true musical purpose is the key to an outstanding lesson experience.
