All About Choosing Piano Schools And Teachers

[i3mum]

Hi acforfamily,


Will the child get confused? I think I might not have enough time for her to attend 2 classes as she is attending other enrichment classes as well. May i know where did you send your son to learn? Fees? Can share?

acforfamily:

If she is musically inclined, there is no harm in learning both the electone and the piano, if you choose to continue in Yamaha. My experience was that I started my son a little late on the piano, so have to end up correcting his fingering / technique. Having said that, it could just be that the teacher's focus as his 2nd electone teacher did focus on it.

Actually, it is quite common for the electone students to do both electone and piano.
He does his electone at Yamaha while his piano is with a private tutor. However, his classmate does both at Yamaha. Fees vary depending on which Yamaha course it is.

Do you have the private piano teacher to recommend? And how much does he/she charges?

The private teacher that I have is just a friend who is recommended and convenient for me. I did not really source for a very good teacher. Having said that, I am quite happy with my son's progress, so no complaints. It is best that you indicate what area you live around as there are a number of postings offering piano lessons.

EN:

For Yamaha exam, do the students take their exam using Clarinova or upright? Are students allowed to familiarise with the exam piano before they play their piece for examination?

Hi EN,
Will have to check with the classmates cos my kid does not take piano but the electone in yamaha. I assume it is the upright cos that is what they do in class too when they are not using the electone.
I have heard of people renting the studio to use their instruments before the exams.

Hi EN,
Confirmed that they use the Yamaha upright for their exams.

Thanks. I have also asked. For the internal exam, the students will be using the teacher's upright piano in class. When I ask if the child is given the chance to familiarize with the piano, she just smile and get my hint. So weekly, the students are invited to use her piano to play their piece.
