First, ds14 is still enjoying and working hard at piano, and wanting to carry on. I think he is leaning toward the performance degree due to the ratio of piano instruction. However, it is highly likely that he will end up doing some teaching. Is it still appropriate to get the BMus?

Also, he has been doing great with his current teacher, but we are considering a change at some point to help him go farther. She has a B.A. Does this impact how far she can take him? She is a very good, classically minded teacher with almost 10 years experience. How important would a change be, and when would it be best? Ds is in 8th grade right now.
