“Music educators say the main reason students, whether children or adults, drop out of music lessons is out-of-tuness of the instrument. The second reason is poor performance of their instrument.” I recently read the the above statements in a music technology course. The more I thought about it, the more it concerned me.
If you are currently having your kids take lessons, think about this: if your child takes lessons during the school year, that’s 36 lessons a year. You can add or subtract for summer lessons or if you don’t take a lesson some weeks. The average price for lessons is between $20 and $25 per half hour. Add music in, and you are spending around $1000 per child per year.
If you are spending that much money to help your kid(s), why wouldn’t you try to eliminate the top two reasons why people quit? If your piano doesn’t sound the greatest, have it tuned. If your piano has notes that stick or continue ringing, have it fixed.
If your piano has problems, give me a call. Let me help you help your child be successful.
