[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]

Since OP didn't quote the piano teacher's email, we don't know. Could be the teacher was rude to OP about it, or blamed OP personally. Could be the teacher was very kind and OP took it the wrong way. We have no idea.[/quote]
