Piano lessons

on: March 29, 2009, 07:51:07 PM

Hello. I have a piano student as I now learned in a few weeks. He is very dedicated and enthusiastic and has a lot of talent. The only problem is .... that he has neither a piano or a keyboard at home so that he can study on his own. He often talks about that he needs a piano but there are not many who wants to sell. He is often frustrated and wants to learn more than I have time with. The bad thing is that I can not give him homeworks so that he can practice on his own.
I see promise in him and think he has a future in music.

Does anyone have any advice or ideas on this. $:-\$

Well, it is essential that he has a piano to practice on. There can be several options :

Friend's house
Relative's house
Local School/University
Church
Music Store
Some combination of all/several

Regarding not having enough time for him, perhaps you will refer him to another teacher then ?
