3 next but is not sure if he can manage it due to the reach problem. She wants him to start on Clementi Op36 No. She constantly struggles trying to find pieces, which don’t require an octave’s reach to play. She tells us his technical ability has outpaced what he can reach. Since his hands are so small (can only reach a 7th), she had to teach him a workaround to be able to play the 20th measure of the first movement. He has been working on Clementi’s Op 36 (all 3 movements) and has almost (99%) nailed this one down to performance level standards in our teacher’s opinion. In addition to Burgmuller, she has him playing from the Sonatina album. He is almost done with the last piece from this book (25. He has also completed almost every piece from the Burgmuller Op. She has him doing Hannon and Czerny OPUS 849 exercises currently. She started him out on Grade 2 and he quickly completed the technique, lesson and performance books. She said she was not a big fan and wanted him to work from the Michael Aaron method books. When we started our son with the new (current) teacher, the first thing she did was to get him off of the Alfred series. I have completed numerous searches on several forums but haven’t really seen any posts about the really young kids and how they normally progress. She keeps telling us how gifted our boy is but I have no point of reference to compare just how fast he might be progressing. We think she is a wonderful teacher and we have been with her since the first part of July. We interviewed several teachers within a 3 week period and found a very accomplished teacher of 30 years who was very happy to teach our son. At this point he had completed six months of once a week 30 min lessons with inexperienced teachers and finished the Alfred Prep course levels A through F. She told us our boy was quite musical and deserves an experienced teacher so we started looking. She thought our son was progressing quite rapidly but didn’t have the expertise to properly guide our son in the right direction. The new teacher was a very nice young lady but didn’t have prior teaching experience. After two months, she had to leave the area due to a job transfer and recommended a friend of hers so we transferred him at that time. She started him out with the Alfred prep course and taught him once a week (30 mins per session). Our seven year old son started lessons last December with a school friend’s mother, who lived close by. I would like to hear some input from the experts on my son’s progress and potential ability.
