 Re: Clarinet teacher that can't play instrument
Author: Anon 
Date:   2006-01-07 18:54

I often don't play along because I feel I can assess the entire situation better when I'm listening, observing, helping to count out loud, etc. With advanced high school students, I act more as a "coach" than anything else when they are working with me. Some of my best teachers never ever played in a lesson.

I wouldn't rush right out and change teachers if you've been happy with this person all along.

The teacher already had a traumatic enough situation - he doesn't need to feel like his students (or their parents) have lost confidence in his teaching ability simply because he's out of commission for a few weeks!

I assume you've been taking your son to hear the teacher perform, right? So he's heard him play before...

Just my two cents.
