[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like the "fit" with this teacher is a problem. Most the teachers at Levine are either pretty ambitious and serious for their students, and push competitions/juries constantly which my DD found to quash most joy she got from playing, or very junior/new teachers (there tends to be quite some turnover because teaching at Levine versus in your house results in less pay per pupil). If your child likes to play and wants to continue then start to look for a new teacher, go talk to the department chair at Levine and see if he/she can think of a better fit. If they can not, you need to go outside. Another idea if your child loves music and now has a pretty good musical background (i.e. reading music) would be to consider joining a chorus instead of doing piano. Very social and there are some great children's choirs in town (Children's Chorus of Washington, DC Youth Choir). [/quote]
