Why Kids Really Quit Piano – And How to Stop It

Kids don’t quit piano because they’re not musical or talented — the real reasons go much deeper. After 20+ years of teaching and working with educators worldwide, I’ve uncovered the true, often-overlooked causes behind student dropouts. In this episode, we break down the 7 key reasons kids quit (hint: it’s not about ability or interest) and explore actionable strategies for parents and teachers to keep kids engaged, progressing, and loving music for the long term. Let’s shift the narrative and help more kids stay the course.
