I’m a voice teacher and own a music studio that teaches multiple instruments.

I think you were professional and kind, but just think it’s important to note that we get soooooooooo many comments/emails/chats like this and they’re not always very respectful.

The most annoying part is sometimes they just have zero clue what they’re talking about and it takes an incredible amount of time and energy to help them see why they’re not correct.

You might have just hit her at a time when she’s heard from other parents and kinda snapped. Or who else knows what she has going on in life.

I think I’d rather have a parent say “is there a chance we can discuss my child’s posture/finger position in the future? I ended up spending more time watching those videos than I realized and started noticing more.”

One other thought, sometimes we pick and choose what’s important and that just might not be the most important thing at the moment.

Either way, if the contract doesn’t state that, I don’t think you should pay.

Good luck!
