Very typical low quality, inexperienced intern level instructors for too high of a price aimed at typical ""sucker moms"" who just want to drop off their kids at music lesson ""day-care"" for an hour while they have the nails done.
Any place that has one price for every instructor will always have a problem finding real teachers who will work for them longer than a couple of months and it is my understanding that never in their 35 year history have they had an instructor who had any real skill or experience and the owner is too arrogant to consider fixing what they don't see as a problem since their clientele doesn't really know they are getting ripped off until long after they have spent a lot of money for nothing,
Unfortunately, south Florida is completely polluted with this type of low quality and it is virtually impossible to find quality training in a store, school, academy etc. because all of the owners try to get away with what the other owners get away with instead of gong in the opposite direction and try to actually get a real teacher as part of the deal.
You are much better off looking for an instructor yourself through craigslist and just avoid ANY salesmen from a facility or a telemarketer referral service because salesmen have no connections or credibility with real teachers.
You are just never going to find a store selling you a $3000 Martin guitar for the same price as a $300 Seagull and the same is true for instructors. You are not going to have an instructor with over 20 years experience for the same price as an instructor with 20 minutes of experience but stores like this are arrogant enough to try while at the same time complain that they cannot find any real teachers who will stay with them.
