Thank you for the feedback. Have knowledge on our commitment, since she said she wanted to take violin. They wouldn't let her do violin yet, it had to be piano. They do the Russian method, look down on Suzuki. I had Royal Conversatory books when I took piano, who knew it would get this complicated?
Anyway, they said the ear trains better if you start with piano, since they hear the tune, then you can do violin a year later. But it was 2X a week and we had to work with her to practice. This was better than the Suzuki school that did take them at 3 but the parent had to take lessons also. No ifs, ands or buts. Parents had to take the lessons if the child starts at 3.
We decided to wait until fall and see if she still wanted to take piano. She keeps saying she does. Since she is so much like me, I wonder if she could really sit for practice 2 hours a day by 4th grade.
