As many of you know, I teach piano here in town. I taught at U/Mass
Boston, was a pianist on call for the Boston Lyric Opera, and I write
reviews periodically for the Boston Musical Intelligencer. I have had
many transfer students over the years, most from private teachers .
Those students needed at least a year or two for me to get them up to
speed. I also had transfer students from the Suzuki Method which I was
singularly unimpressed with. But this summer I have a transfer student
from the Yamaha School and I am blown away by his knowledge. He is only
eight years old but he has a passing knowledge of solfege, keyboard
harmony, and theory including the proper names for chord inversions! He
needs a lot of technical help, but that is easily done.This system goes
from 4 years old through 12 years old. I strongly recommend it for
anyone looking for high quality piano lessons for young children.
