When my daughter got adamant about learning to play the piano I could have searched high and low for the perfect piano teacher, but I didn’t. Instead I took her to Pearland Music Studio. We went diligently for one whole year. My daughter, a national perfectionist, really liked her teacher and played at home, setting a timer to make sure she followed the practice instructions to a tee. After a year of lessons it dawned on me that she knows nothing besides a book of simple melodies she practiced(naturally she was invited to a «recital» to play those for an additional 40 bucks). Her hand position was completely wrong, nor was she really taught to read music. I shrugged it off and encouraged another activity. Yet she kept practicing on her own, watching YouTube videos for instructions. So I decided to go and actually talk to people to see who got results. First time around, plenty of people I asked had praised Pearland Music Studio because their teachers were ‘nice,’ but none told me, «my child plays now!» This time I was looking for results(no concert pianist by any means, just some skills to play for pleasure). When I found a private teacher my daughter learned more taking the same 30min a week lessons in just a few months than she did at Pearland Music. Lesson learned.
