A piano parent once commented that I’m very unlike their child’s earlier piano teacher because I interact quite often with parents.
This student enrolled in piano lessons with me because he wasn’t practising and had lost interest in learning with his earlier teacher. Began lessons with great enthusiasm. Then practise began to falter. I called the parent in – to attend a lessons once in a way – so we could find a way to get practise going. And it worked!
Do students need parent support to learn in solo piano lessons?
The best way I can talk about this is with examples from my past teaching experiences.
