Transferring from an existing piano teacher in Brisbane
If your child has already taken piano lessons and stopped, or is already taking piano lessons and is uninspired, it might be a good time to try a new teacher. The most common reason that teenagers stop playing the piano is that their teacher is making them play songs that they have no interest in, or the stress of exams is too much.
