I’m excited to have my colleague Andrea Priester Houde on to discuss the topic of finding the right fit studio teacher in college. Andrea is an Associate Professor of Viola at West Virginia University and the String Area Coordinator. She serves on the artist faculty of the Interlochen Arts Camp and the Master Players Festival and is a board member of the American Viola Society. Her solo album, The American Viola, features early and contemporary American works, including the historic world premiere of the first American viola composition, composed by Benjamin Cutter and the first composition for viola by an American woman composed by Blanche Blood. If you’re interested in getting to know Andrea a great way to do so is by participating in her summer programs, Viola Days and the WVU Viola Bootcamp, both at West Virginia University. We Cover:How summer festivals introduced Andrea to the world outside of her own and helped shape her musicianship and career.How a mentor in high school ended up becoming her principal teacher in college.How Andrea figured out that music was the right path for her. She didn’t figure this out until college.The importance of trusting your teacher.Recognizing that your professional contacts are made as a student. What traits to look for in a teacher that is right for you. The differences between looking for a teacher in undergraduate and graduate-level programs.How to ask a potential teacher a question during a trial lesson.What qualities Andrea looks for in a student.How a studio affects a student’s education.The power of constructive criticism and how Andrea teaches her students to deliver it.Common mistakes in auditions.Andrea’s hands-on approach to audition preparation for prospective students.How Andrea has created Summer opportunities and communities through her Viola boot camps and Workshops.
