The relationships between teachers and students
Teaching music to interested and talented students is rewarding
it is an incredibly supportive environment, at least the rooms that i am in are. i think my coworkers are lovely and we do our best to create an atmosphere where kids feel like they can express themselves. i love my students dearly
Friendly approachable owners who hire the same kind of staff.
The ability to get and receive constructive feedback and coaching.
Everyone seemingly has their hearts in the right place. Everyone is here for the same reason. Execution is where the problems usually lie.
The Corporate Team has created a Family oriented culture where we help and support each other during good times and bad times. We hang tough together; there is no "I" in Team.
Making a difference in our student's lives.
My fellow instructors are great people to be around. I love music. That is it. Anything else not directly mentioned is a downfall
The app is neat on paper but cumbersome to students and overbearing/monopolizing to instructor lessons. The in-house pedagogical literature (exercise books) range from sufficient to bafflingly backwards in content and delivery. The bands should cover a wider array of genres, not just 70s-90s rock.
Corporate needs to understand how a school works and to offer the support franchisees pay for, including a plan for better profitability and better pay for instructors.
The reassurance of our jobs that we have benefits and a system in place to protect the teachers of this company who are scape goats for legal matters.
People are in denial avoiding issues instead of fixing them.
Better management, better pay, better benefits. The teachers at the school get a very small portion of money that is paid for lessons. It is quite heinous.
