[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I played violin. The teacher you found is not a good match for her - she does not want to work hard enough. I grew up with a teacher who would get annoyed at me every lesson because she wanted me to practice 1.5 hours a day and due to other obligations I only averaged about 20 min. I was good, but I was not concert violinist material. It was absurd of her to expect me to practice that much. Can you cut a deal with her that she practice at least fifteen minutes, five times a week? Regardless, let her continue playing if she wants even if she isn not practicing much. It's fine.[/quote] Agree with this. My teachers growing up were similar. My son’s teacher tries to find fun songs for him to play, along with more traditional lessons. She is probably too nice when he doesn’t practice enough! But he enjoys it and maybe will continue playing for longer than if it were more regimented and strict. [/quote]
