I wish to take cello lessons. I am wondering the following: Do you need to know music theory prior to taking the lessons or do they teach it to you? Thanks.

No, you do not. Everything you need to know, your teacher should be able to take care of. You do not even know how to read a note of music.

An advice on getting into teaching private music lessons?
Question by Kelsey: An advice on getting into teaching private music lessons?
I am 17 years old, a new senior in high school, and I play flute and plan to major in flute performance in college. I need a job to start saving money for not only college, but plane flights to all my college auditions. I would like to possibly start giving private lessons to little kids starting out on flute, and was looking for any advice or warnings people might have to offer. I have thought about this, its not just a whim, and I will definately be organized and have a plan. I have been playing for 8 years, and I am an experienced player, but I have never taught anyone really. Any thoughts? How should I go about trying to start this, and finding students?

Start finding students by going to places where young children are. You can avertizeflute teaching flue at the public schools and churches. Working with adults is hard for a 17year old. They are very hard to correct because they always think they are right! And are not afraid to argue with you.
Make sure to start out VERY simple. But I am guessing you already know that.
Be patient. You seem to have a natural gift for flute, some people may not. Personally, I play piano. Every time my teacher raises her voice or says some negative comment after I have worked hard all week, just makes me want to play even less! And not practice just to spite her!
So make sure to be OVERLY encouraging. Epically if dealing with children.
Rewards work very well too! As soon as somebody finishes a song, (on children anyway) make sure to give them a small piece of candy or a cookie. But stay away from stickers. Personally, when I was younger I would have never worked hard all week to get a sticker on my music page…
Make sure to get to know the parents of the kids to. Work with them. Tell the parents what the kid needs to do, how much they need to practice and help the parent develop a system to get their child to practice regularly.

If I’m a music major, can I claim my private music lessons as an education expense when I file my taxes?
Question by Stephanie W: If I’m a music major, can I claim my private music lessons as an education expense when I file my taxes?
I’m going to school for music education and am seeing a private teacher for voice & piano lessons. Is this tax deductible?
It’s only $ 94/month. Would it even make a big difference in my tax situation?
Bostonian…. I’m not talking about education credits. I’m talking about when I file my taxes at the end of the year. Can I claim my lessons as an education EXPENSE?

Seems reasonable to me. It will translate into approximately $ 100 of real benefit to you at the end of the year.
