Just started teaching
Posted: 12 Nov 2013, 23:12
Hello, i'm new ! I have a couple of questions please. I passed my grade 8 in '91 and went on to do my advanced certificate which i passed in '92. I have looked on the ABRSM website and there appears not to be an advanced certificate anymore, so what would this qualification now be?
Also, i have started teaching at home in the last few weeks. I have only taken on a handful of beginners, its kind of spiralled to quite a few actually, without advertising. My students are all between 6 and 9. I have started them all on 'me and my piano' book one and also they have each purchased the first set of chesters music puzzles. All the lessons are progressing well. I teach them all individually, 20 minute lessons for £5, once a week. I dont think these little ones could actually concentrate any longer than that! Am i on the right track??
I am also itching to bring myself up to scratch again. I used to perform regularly and inwould like to work towards something piano wise for myself again....after having a long break bringing up my family (im now 39). What would people suggest i do? And how would i go about it?
Many thanks
