Quitting piano lessons? PLEASE HELP!?

Question

I want to tell my parents i want to quit piano lessons and just learn songs i want to learn. I am in grade 9 piano, and i don't like the songs that we HAVE to learn. Today is my last piano lesson with my current teacher, and I want to tell my parents before i have to switch. Please help!!! Thanks!

Answer 1

Just say that you like playing piano but you dislike the songs you play and ask if you can learn to play songs that you enjoy. Or, if you're switching teachers, you can buy a piano book with songs you like and ask the teacher if him/her can teach you the songs in that book. Just tell the truth and be honest, you'll probably get what you want.

Answer 2

I took piano lessons from 3rd grade until the end of 8th grade. I, like you, wanted to quit. So I did. If you are determined to quit, no one can stop you, but don't give up on it. The good thing about lessons is that it motivates you to practice and get better. I will say that I regret it now and wish I had continued with my lessons. The other day I sat at a piano and it was rather upsetting that just a few years ago I could play tons of songs and impress everyone around. Now I'm lucky if I can even play the song right let alone impress anyone. I have recently began practicing again, and I hope that I can get as good as I used to be. If you want to quit, quit. But don't stop playing! It's something you'll wish you hadn't lost. If you aren't a self motivated person, I would say don't quit.

Answer 3

Sounds to me like you don't want to quit piano lessons, sounds to me like you want to quit your piano instructor.

Hang out at music stores and find someone that can teach to your style.

Answer 4

Don't quit.Many people who do often regret so later in life.

Answer 5

Just come out of say it "I wanna quit!"
