My 14 year old son plays piano and has completed grade 4 practical and grade 5 theory. He is really keen on moving through the grades but his present teacher seems very slow in progressing him to next grade. He sat grade 4 practical about a year ago and she has still not started him on his grade 5 pieces instead he is playing other music although has started grade 6 theory. He doesn't want a teacher that just teaches grade pieces but he'd like to progress a bit quicker and be on grade 7/8 by time he applies to University.
