DS, aged 9, took grade 1 piano last year, and is taking grade 2 next week. We've moved houses (in fact countries) since last year, and I'm not as happy with his new teacher.
The basic problem is that she's just taught him the three graded pieces since October, when he started with her. (Scales and sight reading as well).
He's bored to tears of the pieces, knows them back to front. I suggested a few weeks ago that he start something new and she didn't like the suggestion.
What do you think? To be fair to the teacher, I think I only ever did graded pieces when I was a child, but then again I didn't do much practice, so wouldn't have had as much time to expand my repertoire.
I'd be grateful for your thoughts.
