Anyone got the 2nd hand piano pedal extender to sell me?

Hi jce,


Thanks for the advice

My concern is that are NAFA teachers teaching techniques different from other teachers outside? So how to the "branded" teachers teach? do they teach the way like the NAFA teachers do? The reason I asked is that do they just say which pieces they want the students to learn and then just that? The parents and the child will figure out how to play the song by themselves (by sight reading first) and the teacher did not demonstrate and is just there the next week to listen?

Please advise

Hi,


There are some doubts I would like the experts here to enlighten me.


Currently I have got a NAFA teacher who cost $360/mth to teach both my daughters (aged 5 and 6) piano.
What she does with my elder daughter is that she had been playing scales, sight reading and 2 grade exam pieces for around 3 months. That’s what we do week in and week out. Every time we are there, she is just there to listen 1 or 2 scales then the pieces.
Previously before we started on the pieces, we were playing some fingering techniques like czerny and hanon.
Some how it seems like she never showed my daughter how was it played and I have to "teach" my daughter every time there is a new piece until last 3 months as there is no new songs since then.

For my younger daughter, she is just there to "listen" to her playing as everything is taught by me myself.

What I would like to ask is that:
1. Is this the way NAFA teacher teach?
2. If my ultimate goal for my daughter is to play as many pieces as possible and in future, she can play "any song" i would like her to, what should I do?
3. Should I change the teacher cos it seems now im the teacher rather?
4. If I were to change the teacher, what kind of teacher should I look for? A "branded" one? or 1 that just asked us to go for grades (which I don’t think that is the ultimate goal for piano)

The last thing I want to emphasize is for my kids to enjoy playing piano which the elder one does not seem like nowadays.
Please enlighten me

Thanks
