[quote=Anonymous]DD11 and DC8 has been with a very nice piano teacher for more than 4-5 years. Our piano teacher’s very good tempered and patient and my kids love her, we changed from in person lessons to online lessons during pandemic and stayed for online lesson since DD’s at a very homework heavy school and I want to save time for her ( once a week mid weekday lesson). Neither piano teacher nor us like the online lesson but just for kids to continue playing piano and fulfill their life. Our piano teacher tolerates ur to continue online lesson while we accept that she’s no longer doing sonata festival for her students, and she forgets about deadline for students special piano guild ( DD had to memorize 15 songs  for 2 years, and DC will need to do the same next year), and sonata festival deadline when she’s still doing it 2-3 years ago ( DD had to learn and polish a 2nd song for sonata festival in about 2 weeks). Recently, I asked about for DD to learn moonlight sonata since she’s ready ( end of Suzuki piano book 5, another student played it and he’s about the same level as DD) and  teacher said her hand’s not big enough. I also asked about Chopin pieces and our piano teacher said she couldn’t teach it. I don’t want to switching piano teacher, but just wondering what’s the best for DD. On the other hand, DC’s in mid Suzuki book 4, and he’s the type rushing through everything ( he’s lazy so he memorize asap so he doesn’t need to read the music and can play super fast) and plays wrong notes here and there. I have a possible new piano teacher in mind but unsure if DC will like him, but the possible new piano teacher could definitely benefit DD ( and also DC). I discussed with DH but still debating.
