Mi son spend 2 years in piano lessons and he learned note names to read and play the piano. We just moved to another state and he's in another music institute. I was surprised when they started to teach them with letters (A to G) instead of note names. His current music teacher tells me that letters is the right way to learn to play an instrument. His previous music teacher tells me that notes are the real way to learn music and play an instrument.
I'm confuse and feel that my son spend a lot of time learning his Do, Re, Mi 's and now he has to switch to a different naming convention.
What is the best approach? Can he learn the letters just as a reference but keeping his focus on notes?
I studied guitar for four years (30 years ago) and I never learned letters.
Are notes more traditional? Should he switch to letters?
Thank you.
