My DS (8) has been playing the piano for nearly a year. He seems to listen to, and like, his teacher. The only trouble is I can see that the teacher is not a pianist; the hand position, jabbing at the keyboard, and sight reading skills are not what I would expect.
I'm really not sure what to do; do I continue because DS likes and listens to the teacher, or do I change before he picks up bad habits?
Before I get flamed for criticising a teacher, I do have skills in the instrument, and the fact that I can sight read the pieces better than the teacher has been noticed by DS!
In the old days I would ring the RCM for advice on getting a new teacher, but I'm not sure if that's done anymore.
Thanks for reading.
