[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much studying does a 10 yo need to do?  Go over her spelling words?

Maybe piano isn’t a good fit.  Does she even want to play the piano of is this something you force her to do?[/quote]

She has tests every other week or so, so yes, there's a lot of studying. Claims she doesn't need to study because she knows all the material, but I don't think so. She asked to learn the piano, but she refuses to practice, and so I routinely get really [b]embarrassing [/b]emails from her teacher about her lack of progression.  [/quote]

I really feel bad for DD. You are the problem OP[/quote]

Because I don't like being accused of letting my child slack off when I spend every evening reminding, asking, begging, bribing, cajoling, and threating, only to be ignored? Sure, ok. I'm the problem.[/quote]

Who is accusing you? And why are you so thin-skinned that you can't stand up to an "accusation" like this?[/quote]

Not OP, and there have been some really nasty (mostly deleted) comments on this thread. If OP caught any of them I can't blame her for feeling upset.[/quote]

I think OP was referring to getting emails from the piano teacher. It puzzles me why a grown person is embarrassed by receiving an email from a piano teacher saying that their child isn't progressing in piano. What exactly is "embarrassing" about this?[/quote]

+1.

My 9 year old does not practice but wants to keep going to piano class. It's not the end of the world. If the teacher has to stay on the 1 note/ song forever, it is not the end of the world.[/quote]
