DS has got an obvious ear for music, but we're struggling to get him off his gaming and interested in it. His latest in a line of piano teachers (through his school - they keep moving on, so he's had 4 in the last 5 years) is as much use as a chocolate teapot. She gives us no feedback, however often we ask, and is just making him practise the same pieces over and over without even entering him for an exam. No sight reading, aural, or even scales! He's said he'd rather just play some pieces he'd like for a while and just enjoy it. He's probably grade 2-3 standard.
One piece he has previously particularly enjoyed playing is "Ivan Sings" by Khachaturian.
Can anyone suggest music of a similar vein, of a similar kind of standard? He's obviously not interested in the lighter Mozart kind of thing but finds the moodier style more interesting. Is there any Rachmaninov that's easy to play?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
