I just "auditioned" for a new student. I don't mind doing free trial lessons for people but occasionally I get someone who has had a teacher or two in the past that they weren't happy with and they want to come and put me through the paces...will I listen to them in terms of what they want to learn and what their goals are? Do I actually know what I'm talking about? Am I professional enough to be there on time and not reschedule lessons randomly? Am I pleasant, decently groomed, have a track record with other students?
Once I get someone in my office and they have made the trip down here, looked at my stuff online and spent a few minutes with me its usually a no brainer but it amazes me that there are teachers out there that are so unprofessional that I get this kind of interrogation from potential customers that have been burnt somewhere else.
Does this happen where you work or is Southern California particularly sucky?
