只有一个问题,她弹得也不怎么好,儿子的练习曲她第一次弹居然还弹错了 (当然她是第一次见这谱)。 现在这老师有时也弹错,这也是我不满意的原因之一。老师弹错正常吗? 还有,她说小指injured 了,现在给advanced 的学生只能弹pieces, 不能弹全曲,当然给我儿子还没问题。
但是老太太真是特别好,trial lesson居然还给孩子做一个customized 的 binder, 又送玩具,哎呀,我真不好意思。
看一下她的来信,是不是个好老师呢? (主要挺远的,她家住另一个林子里。要不我也没这么纠结。 14 miles, 30-35 mins.)
Hi CirrusCloud,
Yes September X will be fine.
Have him work on his scales:
Each finger deep into the keys. Each firm and equal.
Tell him to work on:
C Major and it’s relative: a minor.
Plus: the major scales he has learned with his other teacher: using the same technique for each.
XXX was improving rapidly!!
We will start to work on hand position next time.
Theory:
Tell XXX to continue in his theory book. When he does not understand something……put a *question mark* by it. We will talk about it at beginning of lesson. He can proceed as far as he wishes.
Re: Bach techniques. Bach wrote many things to teach his own children and his students. I have copies of all.
Bach preludes. Bach inventions. I will see how he is doing after another lesson or two. I do not want to overwhelm him, but neither do I want to hold him back. Some are quite hard. Some are not.
I love what I do. Pure enjoyment for me.
I really like XXX and very much enjoyed meeting you.
See you and XXX: September X at <time>. I don’t know how traffic will be with school back in session.
******************
Thank you so very much for the free trial lesson you gave to XXX last Friday! You are a very patient teacher with efficient methods. I've checked the calendar that we still have a lesson with the current teacher this week, so may we start the <Day> 9/X?
BTW, I forgot to ask what was the Bach's book for techniques that you mentioned before?
Thanks,
CirrusCloud
