My son has been attending piano lessons for about 2 months here. Basically I am paying a fee for someone to hear him play some music — there is no teaching being done. He is assigned 20 – 30 pages of theory and songs a week, and when he comes home I am teaching him, then he is playing the music for the teacher. It is a waste of our time and money — I should not be doing the teaching. What happens when a students parents don’t have musical experience? I went to piano lessons from the age of 7 — 18, and my teacher would spend ½ the lesson listening to my progress, and the other half teaching me a new concept. If I wasn’t catching on she didn’t keep pushing me forward, we would slow down and cover a concept until I could play it well. My son is a typical 7 year old, but he does enjoy playing and practices daily without being asked. His teacher basically told us our son doesn’t seem to want to be there, and hinted we should stop lessons all together. Not every kid learns the same way, so it is a teachers responsibility to understand what motivates them. After the first few weeks my son did stop showing interest in his lessons, but still enjoyed playing at home. He started making excuses not to go to the lessons. Fine with me, as I am doing all the teaching anyway. I do not suggest this place for piano at least.
