My daughter has learnt piano for more than 2 years (since 4 years old), but she does not like it.  Always says want to stop learning.  Never try any piano exam.  As playing piano is more or less a must activity, should I keep insisting her to learn ?  Or should I change another piano teacher ? Or should I let her quit ?

can try other teacher and bring her to concert with solo piano, may be she will have different concept about piano. Or let her participate grade one competition, she may like the feeling on stage.

學每樣樂器都會有個樽頸位, 開頭學人人都好興奮, 但原來要持之以恆咁練習, 好多人都會中途放棄.  其實學樂器可以培養到小朋友耐性同堅持, 你囡囡都係學左兩年je, 先了解一下點解唔鍾意學, 比多d鼓勵同支持, 希望佢可以堅持落去.

Is a must for them in my family (Till Grade 8). But don't push them to hard, play with them, sing with them. Don't rush them for exam.
Tell the piano teacher to give them a little gift as award if they do good on the week or pratice on the week.
This really help my kids to keep it up on piano although they don't like it in the beginning.

P.S: After learing piano, is very easy to learn other instructment. MY son only join G2 piano exam after he learn for 5 years. But he joined G4 Clarinet exam after 3 years-he told me clarinet is a lot easier compre to piano.

Don't give up, if they give up one, they will keep up again in the future for other activities.

Everyone goes through this phase, learning piano is a long journey, and like many things in life, you will have ups and downs.

However, starting piano lessons at age 4, (I see it's the trend in HK now..) it really very young. During the last 2 years, what she learned, is probably doable if she started at 6 years old, put in a little effort, she can catch up already.

So, it might be that problem, started early, she is "bored" at the lesson, and practicing takes a lot of focus and concentration. Hence, she will not like practicing piano.

Question to ask is does she LIKE playing piano at all? Or she just doesn't like the practicing part? How apart during her lesson? Does she enjoy it? Is it fun ? She likes the teacher?

One more thing to look into is, "when" do you ask her to practice? I have this parent who came to be with similar problem, and we found out that the child simply hated piano because everyday when she wants to watch her favorite cartoon, her helper or mommy would ask her to turn off the TV, and practice piano. (Cuz that's the only free time she has... so practice piano?)

SO the child naturally thought, if I QUIT piano, then I can watch TV.....
When I asked the mommy to get her to practice at another time, only start 2 times a week at first, slowly, built up a routine.... then the problem resolved, and now she's playing Grade 6 already... in 2.5 years.

So.... look into these questions...

But I agree, don't let children quit when times are tough, or challenging......

Unless she has reasonable reasons for hating piano, I think you should let her continue because there are many benefits to learning piano.  Not only is it a skill, it helps children with coordination, concentration, and trains her patience.

yes all the kids like that you insist to do it.....after a while she will keep on to play it.

Once you stop the piano, she will choose another instrument...and she will give up very soon too....

don't like her to give up so early, otherwise it will become a habbit
