Andragogy is the art and science of teaching adults.
The most important aspect of being a private guitar teacher is retaining students. Whether you work independently or for a school, keeping students as long as possible is crucial. A high turnover in a student roster indicates that a teacher isn’t doing a very good job.
Retaining students is a mark of success, leading to increased earnings. For the students, it means they are receiving their money’s worth while learning and progressing.
