[quote=Anonymous]I would stay put for now, but plan to switch in a couple years. At this age it just needs to be encouraging and enjoyable. My kid plays a different instrument (woodwind) and the most important thing about her gentle teacher is that the teacher knows how to teach - how to describe the mouth and tongue shape so it makes sense, how to hear the difference in sounds, etc. A teacher who can't do that is not much help, even if rigorous. Also, I used to say I wished somebody had pushed me on my instrument (piano) because I took neighborhood lessons for 12 years yet am not very good. But then I saw how DD10 will play for an hour unprompted, and realized that pushing me wouldn't have done much because the interest and drive weren't there. [/quote]
