Sorry Spaceman, but could it be that you are being a litte tough on them? 6 years old is a tad young for a set/strict type of music class, IMO. Not meaning to make assumptions here, just trying to help out.

My brother was that kind of private piano teacher, which was okay for the really serious students, but others, including his own sisters, weren't ready for that level of perfection and demand.

My sister has been teaching elementary music for umpteen years. I'll ask her to drop in and see what she can come up with; I know she's dealt with a lot of crying children who just plain don't want to be there, in school.
