Help with student
Hello there
I'm a new piano professor and one of my first students is a 6 yo boy who is visually impaired, nothing more than shades
He's also into ADHD and I'm pretty sure he is on the Autism spectrum.
He has an excellent ear and good memory
So he can play little pieces easily
But when it comes to technique it is really hard to teach him
Once that you get him to sit straight I will not take more than 5 minutes for him to get out of position.
He also doesn't understand how to relax the wrist even when I have tried to explain him how to relax it
Finger's articulations also collapses
The thing is this
When we correct the position (wrist or fingers) out of the piano he can make it
But when it comes to introduce them into the playing is like starting from 0
Any tips??
