Tuition & Tutors in Australia February 23, 2013 23:16 1 Comment
Learners and lower grade players in Australia are unfortunately going without much needed tuition from Qualified experienced Instructors.
This is without a doubt a concerning situation if we are to keep the art of piping and drumming alive in Australia and be capable of producing high calibre players and bands in the future.
It is of major concern that we lose talented and highly experienced players to retirement, who are just fed up with the scene and its narrow minded approach. If we dont start listening to these people and making changes to move forward with the times, our little scene will eventually become extinct.
What is your State going to do about it??
If your looking for Tutors or a Band to join, look at the long term benefits for you and where you want to see yourself in 5 years. Make sure you are getting the best tuition available.
We still have a few Qualified and competent Instructors in Australia, the catch is, you have to pay for them. And as the old saying goes "you get what you pay for"

On a similar matter, I would hope that any good Piping Instructor would be willing to waiver fees for students who are honestly in a bad financial situation yet have put 110% into learning and practicing and at previous lessons. Of course things like that need to be discussed first, but the option should be there.
