We did get more feedback on her gifted level in music. I tried to put her in group piano, delaying the private lessons, due to her schedule, but she had her second lesson today and the instructor told me after the class: , no group, private. So she must have a pretty strong with the auditory.
Ren, don't read too much into this. I've been told by a few parents of gt kids not to put my children in group lessons because they would be too slow for them.
DS4 has had 2 private lessons so far and his teacher says that he is doing really great. I attend the lessons with him and to be honest doing great has nothing to do with him being auditory and everything with him being gifted. He is doing great just because he can recognize low and high (I mean one end of the piano from the other not any small differences), can find all the sets of 3 keys, can recognize a half note from a quarter note and knows how many beats each is. He remembers the finger numbers and can read the numbers in his book and press the correct key with the correct finger. There are probably more things but none of them has to do with him being auditory. It's all about being fast learner and getting things almost right away.
DS6 has had 2 lessons so far too and he is NOT auditory, trust me on that. According to the teacher he is moving through the material really fast. Again it's just him being gt. You tell him names of the keys once and that's all you have to do, ect. I am not saying there wouldn't be any difference between being a gt musician and my son but I believe that in the first few weeks it wouldn't make a big difference (if any).
Back to the testing. You've already had your daughter tested once or twice, right? Was it SB-V? In that case you pretty much know what to expect, don't you?
