Learning the Piano

Phoebe has started learning the piano in November 2010. She has progressed well, but she is quite reluctant to practise the piano. Maybe it's my fault because I know how to play the piano, so whenever she plays wrongly, I would bark at her. Hence, she is rather afraid to make mistakes and is very dependent on me to guide her in her home practice. I have to find ways to undo my mistakes and encourage her to play the piano more confidently. I will show her video clips of my friends' children playing the piano and also video her playing the pieces that she is familiar with. This has helped to boost her morale. It works, well, sometimes... :) So until she becomes more independent in her playing, I still have to continue with my nudging and pushing :)
