I have to say, this was the best thing we've done as parents-
We bought a piano from Craigslist and he started before the holidays and is now going once a week for 30 minutes. (age being the limiting factor)
He LOVES the piano lessons and he's doing very well. Practicing is always a trial to get him to put down the legos and practice but when he does, he has fun.
He's definitely not the athletic type- although given his (skinny Russian) build, I can totally see him doing track and field later on. Music has always been a motivator for him.
Whew.
anyone else have any tips or tales of woe that we should avoid.
I do need to find a better piano bench. The teacher has one that has a mechanism to raise and lower the seat. (and it's upholstered!) that I'm coveting.
