Where does one even begin to look for a teacher? Where do these guys publicize their services?
For context, I'm an amateur guitarist with an interest in singing Sufjan Stevens songs.
- CSSer 6y agoUsually local music shops or chains that sell gear also employ or rent space to instructors. Qualifications can vary a lot, which is why I strongly support the suggestion others have made to try out multiple teachers. For lessons particularly, err on the side of thinking you’re not the problem. You’re paying hourly for this, and if you don’t click with the teacher it could be fairly expensive to “make it work”. Some people are also great artists but terrible instructors. That wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for the fact that they are also often completely ignorant of that fact.

- jimhefferon 6y agoIn addition to the other excellent suggestions, you can check in with the music department of a local college or university.
- BurningFrog 6y agoAsk local singers or musicians. They know, or they know those who know.
