[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm confused. You have a piano teacher that your kids love and who is willing to do virtual lessons to accommodate your schedule.

But you want to leave because... she forgot about your kids' school event? She won't teach your children songs they aren't ready for? Your 8 yo makes mistakes while playing?

I'm not clear what your issue really is, but I doubt you're going to find someone better who will do virtual lessons and entertain all your expectations.[/quote]

Thanks for your post. Yes we all like our current piano teacher as a friend so that’s why it’s hard to decide what to do. Piano guild is once per year piano level measurement/exam (non competition) from piano teacher side ( they have to be member, and an out of state judge will come give assessment). DD had to continue memorize 15 songs from the list for a 2nd year (she memorized before 1st year guild already), plus new songs she learned at 2nd year since teacher forgot to register or have 1 song short for DD at 1st year ( so it’s like probably 25 songs DD had to memorize, and that’s a lot and could had been avoided). Sonata festival is a piano competition almost every piano students participate in this area. Some would prepare 2 songs for months, but DD was asked to learn a song in 2 weeks, not because she couldn’t learn earlier, but because she’s asked to practice another song during lesson again and again, then teacher didn’t have time to teach 2nd song (2 song total 15 pages long needed to be memorized), so DD’s asked to learn and memorize another shorter song as replacement 2 weeks before event. For the hand size not ready, I doubt for those plays piano that have small hands just can’t play moonlight sonata. There are ways they can play. The possible piano teacher would come teach at our house for a much higher fee. [/quote]
