When we left Sheffield for Cardiff almost 4 years I stopped playing piano and have had no teacher since moving. I started playing piano again in December after I had retired but have done so without a teacher.
It was gradually becoming ever more obvious that I needed a teacher so started looking a month or so ago. It has been a struggle to find someone local with a recommendation so in the end I just used the crappy website superprof and went with the person who looks to have been closest. I feel like I have lucked out. They are proving to be very good, so let’s hope it stays that way.
At the moment it is mostly Clementi and they have me doing doing Czerny exercises as well.
Scheherazade by Schumann is also there but at the moment these pieces are all from me. When I start taking on new pieces I will ask for recommendations from him.
