@Niko Luthieria my man, it's "its", not "it's" in there sorry for being pedantic.

Cheers,

That's all right @Riccardo964

My keyboard suggests automatic the "it's"

Will fix that.

Thanks

Niko,

I taught science for 25 years. Degree in physics and educational psychology. Teaching is a people job. It’s not something that can be learned from studying books. I recommend you find someone whom you deem to be good at it. Spend as much time watching him/her/them teach. If you lack people skills, naturally, I don’t know how to advise you. People vary a lot in their aptitude for people skills. Are you a good communicator?

I have taught people to varnish instruments for close to 2 decades.  Two things come to mind.

My friend and mentor  Tschu Ho Lee said to me: "You learn the most from those who know the least"

"Allow your students the freedom to make mistakes and correct them."

on we go,

Joe

Hey Mr Violins88, very thanks for the advice, will do that.

And yes, I'm not the best, but I think I can communicate well.

I like to use comparation to help them understand things.

On we go, that's make sense. I also agree we can learn a lot from them

 

Really thanks guys for helping, I appreciate it very much.

1.  Teach students what they need to know, not everything you know.

2.  Show, explain what is important and why, then allow them to do.

3.  Let them fail, and help them to diagnose their own mistakes.  Why did that happen?  How can you be sure that is really why?  What will you do now?  Did you think about “X”?  Give it a try and let’s talk about how it went.

Great 3 points, thank you very much.

Nikko, what sort of playing level and possible professional musical career opportunities (if any) are you trying to prepare your students for?

There are different teaching methods for different objectives.

Hey David, I would like to see them better than me. 

But, if it possible in the end(or like 3 years of them start studying) I would like the could look to some young orquestra and see themselves playing in there without much problem. 

If they collaborate as well.
