I am just puzzled why would you send your children to piano lessons without having a proper instrument to practice on? Wouldn’t it make more sense to save up for the instrument and then go for the lessons? No instrument to practice on = slower progress = more money spent on lessons on long run.

Most parents do not know if their kids like piano. They would rather observe first.

You can't choose the teachers u want to learn with in a music school. They give you the teacher based on your time slot. With a private teacher, you can choose and also follow the teacher through your whole music learning. in music schools, you might have to change to another teacher if the teacher resigns from the school. It might or might not be frequent, depending on the school and the teacher.

Thanks for your feedback. But e thing is not easy to find a good home based teacher ard my area? So having no choice, probably will try music school first.

Sometimes students come and learn with no piano to practice on at home, but i wouldn’t just generalise that because they have no instrument to practice on, thus they will be the slow learners. I think some students have no instruments (those who just started to learn) but they are attentive in class, remember everything they are taught and they try to play the piano as much as they can (eg, in their school, at their aunty/uncle house, their friend’s house etc). I think these students are better than those whose parents buy them a piano before they even start but they hardly touch the piano at home.


Moreover i think as teachers, we have to understand it from the parent’s point of view. If I am a parent, I will really want to be sure my child loves playing the piano, and making full use of a piano at home.
