Bad Music Teacher Insurance

If I could invent a new kind of insurance it would be "bad music teacher insurance."

I mean, it makes sense, right? Teaching music is a totally unregulated field.

You can legally accept money in exchange for lessons whether you have a doctorate in piano or your highest qualification is your record score on Guitar Hero.

So it should be expected that there may be damages resulting from an unqualified teacher.

It would go something like this.

You could carry it like any other insurance.

And in the event that it turns out your teacher caused musical, technical, emotional, or mental-health damage, you would have coverage.

This would cover the costs for the next teacher who will have a heck of a repair job ahead of them.

A lousy first teacher causes all kinds of problems that go beyond music. A bad first experience could affect the next two generations of the family tree and their perceptions of music.

It's not a step to be taken lightly.

All the more reason to choose a first teacher carefully. And protect yourself.

Bad teacher insurance...putting students back together since 2022.

When 2 + 2 = 10

When it comes to practicing, most people don’t get how time works. People think the amount of practice time is most important. Rather than the frequency. Logic tells us this: Practicing 5 minutes for six days would be the same as practicing 30 minutes for one day. It adds up to the same total minutes, so the benefits are the same.
