-Stathia Orwig

In the spring of 2022, we threw out a huge campaign to get feedback on teachers and how parents/students were doing at Music SO Simple. I will say that most of the answers were right on point and I expected our feedback. For the most part, all of it was amazing!! I won't lie (and you know me better than that anyways), there were some things we needed to improve on. But, isn't that normal? We had about half of the families answer the survey. Below are the results.

When asked these questions, here is the percentage of the highest answer:

My child's teacher begins & ends on time for his/her lessons. 85.2% said yes

My child and teacher have a good relationship and work well together. 93.4% said yes

My child’s teacher is able to meet the particular learning needs of my child. 80.3% said yes

I believe my teacher has a high level of professionalism. 88.5% said yes

I feel like Music So Simple has a good reputation. 89.1% said yes

Here are some areas we want to improve on according to the survey:
  • student assignments & knowing what to work on when at home
  • having clear expectations from the teacher
  • my teacher does a good job of making my child aware of Student of the Week, Music Ball, Honor Roll, music bucks & prize weeks. (I honestly believe this has a lot to do with the teacher, and I have made some changes to this over the summer. A few of our teachers were not doing these activities and are no longer with us now. This is a very important area for us and is what unites all of our students.)

What do you feel are your teacher’s strengths? Here are some awesome responses:
  • He makes it easy/fun for the girls to learn
  • Teaches to the level of each student. Changes with each student's strengths and what they need to work on. This is tough to do and Ms. Stathia does it amazingly well.
  • Very friendly and approachable
  • Ms. Logan is patient and kind and she listens to what my child has to say.
  • Organization, motivation, varying lessons
  • Rapport with students, technique, motivation
  • Enthusiastic teacher. Always in a good mood and ready to teach
  • Logan is fun, positive, motivating and encouraging!
  • Knowledge of music
  • She creates a great environment for my chid that makes it comfortable for him to learn.
  • She encourages their love of music
  • Logan’s positivity is contagious and she really knows how to connect with her students.
  • Patience and great teaching techniques
  • Everything - Miss Meredith is perfection.
  • Very personable, happy
  • Cares about my child as a person
  • Passionate, encouraging, attentive.
  • Logan is patient and knows how to redirect his attention back to the lesson well. She is also great at correcting in a very positive and encouraging way.
  • Mrs. Lynne works really well with the girls and keeps them motivated and wanting to play piano.
  • Mrs Meredith is kind and does a great job engaging our preschooler in this introduction to music. We love her!
  • Ms. Logan has an extremely positive attitude with her students. She is very creative in her lessons and motivates her students to learn music while having lots of fun! Ms. Logan works alongside her students so it appears to be a collaboration between teacher and student which is encouraging for the shy students.
  • Chiara has such passion for piano and makes the lessons fun. He especially enjoys the ear training and learning new composers and songs. She focuses on the dynamics and other details that make his pieces the best the can be. She has her set repertoire for him but also lets him suggest pieces he would like to learn in the summer and when time allows which is very nice and makes him happier practicing :)
  • I am constantly amazed at her ability to relate, teach, motivate, and accommodate all ages of students!​​
Lastly, on the survey were 5 important questions. I have copied and pasted them here!!
