Many teachers like to move the student into the classical piano teaching repertoire as soon as possible. This can be done as a supplement
to a method by using the Developing Artist® Library. If a method course is
abandoned too early, theory skill and sightreading often suffer. While a well-organized and experienced teacher may be able to manage,
most students benefit from the structure and planned curriculum of a method. As long as the student is enjoying the pieces in their
method, it should be continued. A good method will utilize a variety of styles to stimulate and determine student interest. The teacher
can then supplement accordingly. |
