Hi,
I'd be interested to know your thoughts/opinions on my daughter's piano lessons.
Her teachers are a married couple, I think the plan was originally that the wife of the couple would be her teacher, but as the wife regularly gets migraines, the husband takes over her lessons. She has only had 5 lessons so far and only 2 of those lessons have been with the wife.
When I took dd to her lesson this week, the husband took a while to answer the door (and the wife was in bed with a migraine) and he said the new rule is that we are to ring the doorbell and then send dd straight in to the front room to wait (she attends the lessons by herself) It turns out this is because he has had a fall and is in a brace and takes a while to come to the door. This feels a bit odd to me, as I would prefer to ensure I've handed dd over to another adult rather than just send her in to the house.
DD said that during her 30-minute lesson he then went into the kitchen and made himself a coffee whilst shouting out finger numbers to her as she was left playing by herself.
Would you be happy with all of this, would you continue to send your dc to these lessons, or would you be looking for a new teacher? Would I be over-reacting to look elsewhere?!
