Looking for a committed private piano teacher who can travel to Kovan to teach 7-yo DD. She's been learning 1-1 at a music school for more than a year and I'm thinking of switching her to learning at home. Weekday/Weekend mornings preferred.

Now my kids are happier though they have to travel to the piano tr place instead of the comfort of just waiting for the tr to come to our place. Hope you can find a good tr soon as well.

Hi What The,
able to share which teacher your kids have gone to? Am trying to find 1 near me thou... TIA!

Sadly, my kids' piano tr is all packed back-to-back with lessons. I whatsapp and called a few times and literally have to \"beg\" her to accept my kids. But she rejected me very politely over the phone every time.

I do not know what came into me but one day, I just brought both kids to her studio. But as her lessons are back to back, we ended up sitting in a corner of her studio for more than 3 hours. Luckily, a student was late for about 5-10 minutes and we managed to jump in and speak to her. She asked my kids to play a song each for her - guess what, as it is, it was played with poor fingering. But guess our sincerity touched her.. and my girl said after she finished playing \"I know I do not play well, that's why I want to learn from you\"... And I am so glad she just spurts that out... the tr relented and agreed to squeeze in End up I have to bring them for 2 separate sessions as she really have no slots to squeeze then in, one after another. No complaints though.

Wow, so dramatic. Sounds like a martial arts apprentice looking for a grandmaster to be the teacher. The things parents do for their kids....

Haha... Indeed. As parents, we will go all out for our children. I did ask my kids if they want to continue piano after they failed their piano exams. Good thing is they likes piano (afterall they are the ones who asked for piano lessons in the first place) so whatever I did, hopefully is worth it, down the road. Fingers crossed

Got a question. When child passes an exam, do we automatically pay the teacher higher fees for the next grade the next month or wait for instructions from teacher?


We are aware of the charges for different grades. But teacher is still finishing up books from lower grades and hasn’t said anything.

Best way is to check with the teacher. Say for a child in G1, currently learning for G2 exams,
(1) Ex-piano teacher will charge G2 fees as she is indeed learning G2 stuff.
(2) Current piano teacher will charge G1 fees, Grade 2 fees after she passed G2.
So it really depends on the teacher
