How to find a teacher! Every student needs a teacher. Part of G1C is to find a teacher that suits your needs and learning style. You will probably be working with them on a weekly basis and they will become an important part of your life for the period of the challenge and hopefully beyond! Finding the right teacher is a bit like finding the right driving instructor: you want someone local who comes highly recommended. Once you have chosen your teacher you must discuss with them the parameters of the challenge so that they can prepare you in the right way offering guidance as to the level of challenge you should take on. The links below will help in the search. You can also contact your local music hub for information on local teachers (full list on page 2).
