I am a 9-year-old 4th grader who is also a student of Karta's. There are some things I'd like to tell you about taking music lessons with Karta.
Your child is about to step into a brand new world. And it is very similar to when you're child first arrived. He or she probably didn't probably didn't walk or talk in the first week, month or perhaps even a year. Learning music is a lot like that. Your child is probably not going to play piano like Mozart or sing like Judy Collins in the first year. Maybe not even the second. The trick is not to push it.
Some of you may remember your own piano teachers. Practice, practice, practice. Maybe at one point you couldn't take it anymore and you quit. The trick is not to be like that piano teacher. Chances are your kid is not going to like to be pushed, prodded and told to practice every day. No kid does.
I love taking lessons with Karta and I look forward to it every week. Partially because I have really grown to like playing piano, and because my parents have let things happen as they happen and haven't pushed it. Maybe pushing will help with your kid, but it could also end it all. I don't recommend finding out.
I hope you will consider bringing your child to learn music with Karta. I love it, and I bet your child will, too.
Yours truly,
