We have decided to let Adam take a break from piano lessons. It makes me sad but we fight everytime we try to get him to practice. We want playing music to be fun and not a shouting match. He seems to do well at the actual lesson but he has no interest in practicing at home. He wants to get the stickers for practicing and go up on the "hall of fame" board but he doesn't actually want to practice.
On the front of the little practice sheet where he puts his stickers it has 6 "rules":
5 days (minimum)
Fast feet (fast feet to the piano to practice - no complaining)
Happy Face
Count out Loud
All songs
No Help
Adam doesn't want to do any of those. He says he wants to go back when he is older and learn how to play Weezer. Part of me wonders if he is bored with the stuff he is playing. We'll ask him again in the Spring and Summer. Maybe get a different teacher.
