My Student~Piano Exam-Special Case!

One of my student in overseas, Ejh Tan, 7 years old, the grandson of current President of a Country. He came from a very rich family background. 

Ejh complained his male ex piano teacher stress him a lot before exam to his parents. He also got mad dream of this piano teacher when he was sleeping at night. Cried a lot and wanted to change piano teacher. His mother met me finally! Once again, another case of left final 2-3 months from the exam date they switch to other teachers, that's me!

1st piano class, her mother sat in the piano class with Ejh and discussed a lot about Ejh's issue to me. Then I requested him to play the exam songs and show his performance to me. He was really good in playing, he was enjoying the music. He had a good sense of music, music reading notes is extremely fast. Such a distinction student. 

Final 2-3 months piano training under my guidance
His target was to obtain Distinction in his music exam. I never stress him at all, just requested him to play all the details I taught and encouraged him a lot in a friendly. However, he had a weird personality. Once, when he was unable to play a particular part, he felt tension then cried, tears out from his eyes even though nobody scold him. His mum consoled him to stop crying anymore and must score distinction, they will buy him whatever he requested as a gift etc etc.

I was silent this moment and I understand that is not the previous piano teacher's fault. Is actually the Stress came from his family, such a rich family with great reputation and caused the kid unable to handle pressure..


Well, I don't bother about what kind of family he came from, I teach with my own methods, all the details of songs, scales, aural etc and still, end up he scored a Distinction in the exam!
