[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 174710, member: 3413"] I spend a lot of time with classical musicians, and I also am friends with a woman who teaches piano to kids. I hope you believe me when I tell you: It really isn't Tigger, it's the teacher! Many classical musicians that I know (and love) have such a stick up you-know-where. They thrive on order and just *don't* know how to handle chaos, even if it's just an active child who needs redirection. This is why they are classical musicians and not rock, or jazz musicians, who do things like (gasp!) improvise and (double gasp) move their bodies while they play! OK, I admit. I'm a musician myself, and when it comes to music, I have the stick firmly planted as well. That's why I wouldn't even TRY to teach kids! I'm sorry this teacher wasn't a good fit. I think that's all it was, though - a poor fit. Maybe Tigger wants to try guitar? Or bluegrass mandolin - isn't that strung the same as violin? Maybe he'll get a more relaxed teacher. [/QUOTE]
