after a series of lessons of saying son's attitude is very bad, and threatening to stop teaching him, the piano teacher stomped off mid lesson. tadah.
it left me very perplexed, cos from what i'm hearing (while trying to keep the younger 2 quiet in another room), son was just trying to get the notes right before incorporating counting, but she insist on him just doing counting straight off. and then, he say she is disturbing her (not the first time though) and she is offended and says he has bad attitude, and since he doesn't want to listen, she is not going to teach him anymore. I've also given her suggestions on how to improve on engaging him during lesson, particularly demo-ing once before just flipping to a page and asking him to play immediately. then if you want him to just figure it out how to play by himself, why don't give him time to do his own exploration? (and why do I need a teacher for that?) then you start correcting him while he is exploring and keep asking him to stop zzz. the whole lesson approach is just very off.
after a few messages, she say she can come back next week if he changes. sorry but no.
