Alex will have to choose between one of those instruments as we have NO room for a piano. Any idea if some of those keyboard programs are really similar to playing piano?<BR/><BR/>Alycia<BR/>The Power of OneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14307156.post-25896144475554813702007-08-22T23:49:00.000-06:002007-08-22T23:49:00.000-06:00We just started piano lessons as well.

I also taught her for about two years, but the same thing happened so we found a "real" teacher. I realize we have never met, but I like to offer advice to strangers lol. I think, unless she is a prodigy, two lessons a week is too much, especially if you want her to stick with it. We meet with our teacher once a week for 30 minutes. Then, practice on our own a little each day. Rather than set a time limit or minimum for practice, she tells us to go through each song three times and be done. I have been having a blast- I guess I could ask my daughter if she is lol.shontellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231366909795335646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14307156.post-91868940493519290872007-08-21T12:48:00.000-06:002007-08-21T12:48:00.000-06:00I hope so, too.

So, maybe this will be just what she needs. 8-)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666881968543504432noreply@blogger.com
