Have you invested time, money, and energy into your child’s piano lessons, only to see slow progress and frustration?
My Story
Perhaps practice has become a chore, and your child's enthusiasm for piano is fading. You want them to excel, but not at the cost of spending 6-10 hours a day practicing. You envision them playing with confidence, truly enjoying music, and maintaining a healthy balance between piano and other interests.
I understand. As a child, I spent countless hours in the practice room, often without the right guidance. I remember staying late, determined to improve, but feeling frustrated when my efforts didn’t translate into real progress. I practiced tirelessly, yet I struggled to retain what my teacher had taught me. I didn’t know how to fix mistakes, what to focus on, or why it mattered. Without a clear practice strategy, I wasted so much time, feeling stuck in a cycle of repetition without real growth.
