[quote=Anonymous]My kid plays violin, and I was so stressed when we needed to switch teachers to a more serious studio, since her first teacher only taught beginners. It was hard getting a list of names (mix of recs and internet search), and then a lot didn't take new students, and then some were too far for a comfortable commute... So I sympathize. I can't recommend anyone, but I agree that she needs recitals and competitions. If you're open to Levine Music, they have built-in recitals included in their tuition. Also, piano is by definition a little solitary. This is why I encouraged my daughter to pick an orchestral instrument, for the social aspects. If your daughter sticks with piano, she will be in demand to accompany her school chorus. I've known some pianists do that. A serious piano studio will have recommendations for chamber ensembles that include piano, but again, in this area, the limiting factor is commute and finding a practice room. [/quote]
