Why learn music with a teacher? 

The benefits of learning music with a teacher or private instructor are several, but the two principal ones are consistency and specificity. Learning with a teacher means learning with someone who will see your improvements and your shortcomings. This person will meet with you at a consistent scheduled time and that schedule will organise your time more efficiently. The teacher will also address the challenges and difficulties that are specific to your  progress and relationship with the instrument or any other aspect of music in general. The teacher will guide you then through what he or she will consider to be the better path for your improvement, and he or she will pinpoint the improvements for you to continue engaging in your practice while feeling motivated. The teacher will make you realise your errors in order for you to correct them. Learning with a teacher will give you another reason to be consistent in your instrument practice and it will give you the chance to interact and to get to know someone who will guide you patiently through your journey of learning music.

Learn to read and write music and keep a good record of your ideas

When you learn to read music, you are also learning to write music. By learning to read music, by the mere fact of learning the usage of signs and symbols, you are inevitably learning music theory and the logic behind the terms and use of the elements of music notation. And by learning music theory, you are inevitably learning how to write music, the grammar and syntax of music. If you are a student who has become passionate about music and all of its components, you might have the need to write your own ideas, either interpretation ideas (changing dynamics, accents or expressions) or your musical ideas such as melodies, chord progressions, motifs, etc. If you know how to read music, you will also know how to write these ideas so they are not lost, and because they are written down on paper, it will be quite easy to go back to them and read them on your instruments. This could also give you the chance to arrange for your instruments pieces or songs that were written for other instruments; e.g: a Queen song arranged for a rock band now arranged for piano, in which the piano will try to mimic the vocal, guitar, bass and drumline. All of this can be done if you know how music works and the first step for that is learning to read music.
