Survey Question #4
Oops! I kind of dropped the ball on posting my survey questions after the first, second and third questions. Here is the fourth survey question I asked, followed by my students’ responses:
If you could change one thing about your piano lessons, what would it be?
* The only thing I would change is having a longer lesson.
* Practicing more things.
* More games.
* The time.
* It would be longer.
* Nothing.
* Nothing.
* More fast songs and more scales and more theory books.
* I love them the way they are!!!
* To have a longer lesson.
* Make the lessons longer.
* Being able to play Entertainer.
* When I first come in I would get a piece of gum.
* Maybe a few more activities.
* I wouldn’t do theory.
* I don’t want to do theory book.
* I would have piano lessons more often and get rid of scales!
* Having to practice.
* Improve on Jolly Old St. Nicholas.

Getting a piece of gum upon entering the room is hilarious!

Isn’t it?! It came from a little guy that is always cracking me up with the things he says.
BTW, you have a wonderful music blog, Rebecca! I just added it to my feed reader and my music blog links. Looking forward to keeping up with it!

Thanks so much! Your blog inspired me to make my own! By the way, I love your survey questions. Next year, I want to put together a dvd of my students to show at a recital. I was thinking of asking them questions throughout the year as part of the dvd, but didn’t really know what to ask beyond, “What’s your favorite thing about piano lessons?” I think I may ask some of your survey questions, if that’s all right!

Rebecca~
That’s great that you started your own blog! It looks great…I added a link to my Music Blogs category. And of course, you are more than welcome to use the survey questions.
Last year, in exchange for a reduction in her lesson cost, I had one of my highschool students take pictures throughout the year and compile them into a presentation for the final recital of the year. It turned out really good and was a ton of fun! I would love to watch your DVD presentation when it’s done. I hope you post it on your blog!
