Hi! My DD has been playing the piano for 2 years now, but her piano teacher does go on holiday quite often. She has recently done her Grade 4 exam, and now is beginning to work on her Grade 5. I'm a bit worried seeing as I found out that most of my friends' children take between 3-5 years to reach Grade 5 on the piano. So is my daughter currently fine, or is she progressing too fast on the piano? Thanks in advance!

It is imperative she stop training immediately

Yes, she is progressing far too fast. Studies have shown that children who take under 27 months to get to grade 4 turn into werewolves at grade 6. I'd check those teacher holidays too: they almost certainly coincide with the full moon.

That the sort of thing you were after ?

Yes she is I'm afraid, you should be very concerned.

Worried? I don't think so. What do you think is going to happen to her if she 'progresses too fast' is the going to get musical whiplash?

Show-off.

How can she be 'progressing too fast'?

As long as she is enjoying it and no-one is pushing her, how can it be a problem?

Teeny tiny weeny steath boast maybe?

stealth boast!

If she is capable of doing the exam, why worry about how fast she is progressing? She is clearly talented.
