Every one knows family has a big influence on kids. It’s the same for piano study. If a family takes it seriously, the student will also have a stronger will to learn piano. A “Ho Hum” family will produce a “Ho Hum” student. Students, no matter what age, needs encouragement and support from the family. For younger students, one of the parents needs to sit beside the child when practicing at home. This will avoid having the feeling of lonelyness when practicing. A 4 year old can’t read the comments I left after lesson and can’t remember much from the lesson. It is the adult’s responsibility to do the reinforcement at home. If you just leave it to the child, not much acheivement will be seen. Learning piano is a team work between the student, the family and the teacher.

I completely agree! If a student doesn’t come prepared for the lesson I blame the parent.
I hope you will check out my piano site also. Sounds like we are on the same wave length.
