I made my first purchase ever on Groupon.com earlier this week. I saw a deal for piano lessons at Worldwide Piano in Edison and thought I'd let big sister K try it out. I bought six private lessons for her and figured she'll get whatever she can out of them. Even if she didn't like it, they were inexpensive enough that I wouldn't feel like it was a total waste of money.
Big sister K went for her first lesson today. Both the owner of the place and her instructor thought she was a bit young, but I told them she expressed interest, so I'd have her try it out for a few weeks and see how she does. Her instructor (Mr. P) was pretty good with her, considering he's never taught anyone so young (I confirmed with him after the lesson and he said that the youngest student he's ever had before big sister K was age 5).
There wasn't much piano-playing during this first lesson; the focus was more on posture and technique. Big sister K was attentive, but remained shy and was hesitant to respond when Mr. P asked her a question. I'm sure she'll warm up over the next few lessons though, since she kept asking about Mr. P on the car ride home. He gave her "homework"; hopefully I'll have enough time and energy this week to let her practice on the piano.
