How difficult is it to find a guitar teacher who doesn't "pit"?

After studying piano for nearly a year, I finally realized that my former teacher was not only making things difficult for me, but also had nothing to teach.

But I don't know where there is a good teacher, so I can only walk around the music shops in the streets with my guitar on my back and ask if I can pay for a lesson and listen to the course first. After the audition, teachers reacted differently. Some assert that my level is very poor and I need to start all over again, but I can't say where I didn't get it right; Some politely say that they have had a good time. If we come again, we can play together.

After a long time, I found a guitar teacher recommended by my friend. He threw the metronome on the table: play a paragraph and let me see. Embarrassed, I had never seen a metronome at that time. I don't know what it is or how to use it.

If someone claims to practice musical instruments extremely hard, as long as he is not one of the few traditional musical instruments with unstable beats, you just need to take out the metronome and ask him how to use it at ordinary times. He can't use it? Help me laugh at him for twenty minutes.

But at that time, I really had never seen a metronome; The guitar teachers who taught me have never seen them use it.

You may want to ask: Why is the average professional quality of guitar teachers so poor? Are all musical instrument teachers like this? That's not true.

There are basically three reasons-

Guitar is not a plus item in the college entrance examination, and few universities offer guitar departments. Even if there is, it is also a classical guitar major, and few people read it, and it is not popular after learning it.

Moreover, classical guitar majors look down on those who play singing and electric guitar in society and think that they are all wild ways; Many people who engage in folk songs and play and sing disdain to use professional and scientific piano practice methods, which are considered to be old-fashioned. The good method of practicing the piano can't spread, and the demand for guitars in society is great, which naturally leads most people to become wild monks, and many people can't connect.

In this way, it is normal that 85% people suddenly can't keep up with the teachers who are at a loss to practice the piano.

So, what instruments can be added to the college entrance examination? Oh, too many. There are flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, grand violin, cello, double bass, piano accordion, erhu, Hu banhu, dulcimer, pipa, Ruan, three-string guzheng, suona, flute and sheng tube. ...

This leads to that if you pull a guitar teacher from the street and a piano teacher from the street, the former is likely to be abused in all directions, leaving no residue.

Reliable guitar teachers do exist, but they are as rare as giant pandas. It's really sad, because in the world, the output of guitar is 30 times that of piano, but the reliable guitar teacher may only be one thirtieth of that of piano teacher.

Let's think about it from another angle. If you were a guitar teacher, how would you teach to maximize your interest?

As a guitar teacher who charges by class hours, of course, he can't make every effort to improve teaching efficiency, but he should attend classes as slowly as possible, but not so slow that he can beat the table and get a refund.

Therefore, teachers who charge by class hours should not only preach and give lectures to dispel doubts, but also learn to slow down, learn to become close friends with students, and learn to use a lot of dazzling skills and philosophy of life to delay time in class, instead of learning to let students learn various skills with the fastest efficiency.

Isn't that ridiculous? There are such a group of teachers in the guitar industry, which is simply inefficient.

If everyone teaches at this speed, the teachers will soon have no food.

Maybe some competent music teachers or serious music learners don't quite agree with this statement. Many teachers may come up with some seemingly just rhetoric, such as "blindly pursuing efficiency will lead to more problems" and "what if you learn basic skills so quickly?"

First of all, I want to talk about incompetent teachers, obviously you are not; Secondly, I understand your concern. You may think that beginners can't learn quickly and play basic skills well. Please, it's certainly possible to give consideration to both speed and quality. It is the teacher's duty to keep thinking about how this possibility becomes a reality and keep experimenting and adjusting.

Seeing such a problem, some teachers said without thinking, "I can't give consideration to both speed and basic skills", and then didn't try at all and insisted on the original slow teaching pace. In my opinion, even if there is nothing wrong with you except teaching slowly, you are still an unqualified teacher.

Lack of efficiency, improvement and competition have led to numerous problems in guitar teaching. For example, we can think about it: has the guitar education industry changed greatly in recent years?

If you have taken guitar lessons in various guitar classes, you will find a magical fact: most guitar lessons will enable you to learn one or two fixed tunes to play and sing in two to three months. What are these? It's you at the same table, childhood, Beyond's vast sky and so on.

When were these songs? Music from the eighties and nineties. What era was the eighties and nineties? It is an era when guitar education began to enter social institutions, began to recruit students for the society, and a teaching system integrating playing and singing appeared.

The whole guitar playing and singing has not changed much from the teaching method, teaching structure and even example music, from the reform and opening up to today!

Playing and singing guitar teaching is a very young industry in China, unlike other classical instruments which have accumulated for hundreds of years. However, in the past two or three decades, there have been many major breakthroughs in the teaching methods of piano and other musical instruments, such as teaching books, structures and ideas. However, the guitar, which should be a rapidly changing instrument, is like a magical stagnant water, and has hardly changed. It's amazing-but it's not surprising in an industry where no one can improve efficiency.

Therefore, when you meet a guitar teacher who is not pitted, you must cherish it.
