Hi T Dreamaurora,


Do you have any teacher in mind to recommend? i am thinking of switching to male teacher, for a change. What do you think?

Thanks!

Gender of the teacher does not really matter; more important is the chemistry between the teacher and the student. Which area are you located? You can PM me directly if you want.

hahah - it matters if they are older. If girls especially, I would definitely sit in the lesson if it's a male teacher. LOL. So far, once my boys reach upper primary, I've left them to attend lessons on their own and to manage on their own.

Anyway, nowadays female teachers have risk also; lately got a lot of recent cases of older female teachers preying on young boys.

That is a very general question. Are you asking about Performance or Teaching diplomas? Anyway, the general consensus is that ABRSM diplomas are harder to pass and have better quality control.

For the purpose of teaching, ABRSM diplomas are more recognizable here for the simple fact that for grade 1-8 ABRSM is the still the most popular choice here.

Dear Dreamaurora, I have been a silent reader of your posts and have learnt a lot from you. Thank you very much. I have a 8yr girl, she did MIM at Seimpi from 3-5yrs old, continued with a 1-1 lesson with Seimpi, but the teacher was always late and not very inspring. We stopped after 5 lessons. Lately, my girl has asked to start piano lessons again. She isn’t a hardworking person, but when inspired and motivated will put in effort to do her things. I am not sure if the interest is going to be short-lived, but would like to give it a go… Do you think it is better to start her on 1-1 lessons? Does she need a piano right away (she has a keyboard at home)? Any advice greatly appreciated.
