Neither. I send my girl to private teacher. Faster and better learning! Just our thoughts.

Hi, can you pm me your teacher's contact? Does she teach at your home? Tx

Is it ok to buy digital piano instead of acoustic piano for piano practices?

I find out that the lessons are well-paced. The teacher is very engaging to encourage kids to sing, dance and practising rhythms using electone. There are songs include fast paced & slow paced, teacher shows big pictures when playing the songs. All the 10 students enjoy it very very much.
I personally find that my son is totally different compared to his previous music school (not cristofori). He really enjoys the class especially comes to solfage.

Anyone can give feedback on both to help me decide which is a better school to let my girl appreciate music at such a young age.

But the drawback is they dont do much on sight reading.

I had lessons from p1 to p6 and managed to get my grade 8 in p6, but of course this depends on the student for the most part. I was lucky I was being taught by a new teacher in the centre who had the competence. If I am not wrong Cristofori may tend to choose teachers for the new students unless the parents have a specific teacher they want. And cristofori holds ABRSM exams, which I believe is more recognised than the yamaha exams. My teacher before has also told me that yamaha has too many holidays, causing students to miss quite a few lessons throughout the year. And I believe it would be better to choose a Cristofori School thats under the company directly.

I had enrolled my girl in Yamaha before, but found the pace and teaching style not suitable and not personalised.


Switched to private piano teaching, am happy with her current progress now. 🙂

Two of my friend's daughter wasted a few years at Christofori.


student A wasted 6 yrs and only obtained grade 1..................... They kept changing piano teachers so student A got so confused of how to play the same piece to prepare grade 3 and in the end she failed..............

Student B wasted 3 years and not even ready to take grade 1 exam.

that sounds terrible.. i was able to advance about one grade per year then. never heard of so many change of teachers..

Agree.
Quick shocked to hear this

Normally is one year go up by one grade

After all, the private teacher very patient towards my naughty girl and now my girl still having Grade 3 piano lesson with her:)

your_attorney:
There are some CC who provides Piano classes too.

One of my neighbor attended such classes and he seems to be coping well.
(passed all exams too!!)
Which cc did your neighbour go to, for piano ?
