My two kids at M F
One was learning piano the other guitar. Pianist student was 10 years old and had some previous experience. He seem to be slowly developing in a positive way. On the other hand my 12-year-old guitar student Had no previous experience and after one year still couldn't play a song at the Music Factory. When I brought this up to Danny he told me some students progress and some don't.
Response from The Music Factory School of MusicApr 20, 2016
Hi Michael. I wanted to thank you for your time with us at The Music Factory. I'm sorry that we weren't able to get better results with your son. I remember our conversations and I think your a paraphrasing a bit with regards to my comments to you about this. I know we had many conversations about you getting involved in trying to set up a practice schedule at home etc. As much as we try, we can't always guarantee that everyone will love playing and take it upon themselves to practice at home when they are away from their lessons. There is some truth to the concept that students pick up these skills at a different pace than others. Some people are " naturals" to some extent and others can struggle their entire ;ives just t be even somewhat proficient. There are certain sports that I enjoy doing, cycling and brazilian jiu jitsu, but I can work t them hard for long periods of time and I will always be sub par at them. I'm just not a natural athlete like friends of mine are. However, I still feel like a get great benefits from pushing myself to do those sports. I think it's like that for lots of music students. Most will not be professional musicians but they can still get great enjoyment and benefits from pursuing it. We wish you all the best. danny
