I am Natascia Jones: music teacher, parent, and life-long musician. I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Organ Performance, and have played violin and piano for most of my life. I have taught lessons on all three instruments and have taught over 150 private students. As I have taught and gotten to know wonderful families, I have come across common threads of misunderstanding, such as: if my child doesn't practice this week, it is okay because we were busy; or, the best way to end lessons is to "ghost" the teacher; or, if I choose not to come to lessons one week, I shouldn't have to pay the teacher.
I created this blog to discuss subjects that are not talked about enough in the music lesson world. If you are a parent of a child in music lessons, or want to be soon, the topics here will help you understand some of the ins and outs of this world. As a private lesson teacher, these are topics I wish I could discuss in depth with all my students’ parents, but cannot for want of time. This blog is for families (and teachers!) of any musical instrument, be it piano, violin, bassoon, flute, etc. Be warned, I use humor and sarcasm freely.
