The general consensus is that in-home lessons offer a mediocre musical experience, with instructors who’d rather spend their time sitting in traffic than teaching serious students, and parents who don’t value music education enough to visit the music studio.
The exception of course is the Aristocratic music lesson for those of means and fame, who prefer the convenience and security of home lessons of the highest quality for their children and themselves. This is suitable for celebrities, athletes, politicians, CEO’s and those who simply insist on the best in life at home.
The Mozart Standard: A Legacy of Private Instruction
To structure this we will use Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart as an example.
To support himself and focus on his 800+ compositions Mozart took on several pupils while living in Venice, Italy. You might have heard the aphorism, ‘Those who can, do, those who can’t, teach’. Well to that I simply ask, ‘Have you heard of Mozart, Bach or Beethoven?’.
Mozart would see his students 3 times a week, around noon which allowed him time to compose in the morning and then late into the evening. His writings and accounts from his students indicate that he enjoyed teaching, often composing pieces for his students to work on.
Mozart’s teaching was often tailored to the pupil’s needs. He taught keyboard composition, and sometimes vocal coaching. Lessons were usually one-on-one, held at the pupil’s home or Mozart’s residence, and were a significant part of his income in Vienna, where he charged around 6 ducats per month for regular lessons.
Beyond Talent: The Power of Perfect Pitch and Modern Pedagogy
Mozart possessed Perfect Pitch, the coveted ability to instantly recognize any musical note without a reference. For generations, this was considered an innate gift. However, advancements in understanding and teaching now reveal that Perfect Pitch can be taught to most individuals, opening up a world of musical possibility previously unimaginable.
Combine this breakthrough with the unprecedented access to information and personalized learning that modern technology provides, and you have the most powerful musical education experience in history!
