justme
oh yes that sounds familiar! gosh i have not been to parkway for so long. i'm not sure if 3 is too young. i remmeber many of my friends started at 5 or 6 but they were forced into it and most of them hated it. many dropped out. i started at 11 and i begged my parents for classes. but in the end also lost interest at 15 or 16 (when other things were more cool la!). maybe see if your daughter is keen or not, because if not then it would be a very big waste of money
just my 2 cents la. honestly, what most of us hated was that we had to do all the theory stuff as well. for me, i just wanted to play for the sake of playing. i didn't see the point in being examined about composers' lives. that really took the joy out of learning for me.
i have heard of non graded piano lessons, where you learn just for fun, no exams. but for those of you who want to be graded, i.e. go through grade 1, 2, 3 etc, maybe it is good to consider this too - how do you think you would feel when you are in the exam hall/room and you're the only person in your 20s and 30s when the other candidates are 6 or 7? another thing that made me feel silly. i was at many years older than the other kids and as a teenager, that really bugged me.
hope this helps!
