Instruments: Piano Violin

I use different book series, depending on the age and level of the student. For young students, I start with the little Mozarts book series, lesson books, and workbooks. For older students, I will either use Bastien or Alfreds lesson and workbooks. This is mixed with a classical and folk book. We also work on theory, and making sure we know our intervals. Students also learn about key signatures and recognizing sharps and flats. Read More

I develop an individual curriculum based on student's needs, ability and level of advancement. Since I do teach adults, I also schedule lessons to fit their life style. Depending of what the student wants, I do develop an individualized lessons. I do believe that beginners do need an introduction to basic music knowledge and methods. For children, I start with basics. For adults, I first try to determine their level of ability and interest and then customize music lessons based on my determination and student's wishes. Read More

As a simple option for the young beginning students, I would choose some simple and fun step by step tutorials with fun musical accompaniment that attract them from learning like: My First Piano Adventure for 4-6 year old or Bastien Piano Basic, Alfred's Piano Library ....ect..in addition to finger exercises, basic theory, techniques and rhythms that I collect from many different arranged books by each level to get they ready for the first performance.

Eric R

Instruments: Piano Trumpet Saxophone Euphonium

I think it is absolutely important to develop a teaching style that is based around positive reinforcement. Praising when you like what the student did. When you can tell there is progress from week to week, telling Jonny that you can tell he practiced is a brilliant way to inspire Jonny to associate hard work with progress. I live by the mantra, 2 praises and a wish, meaning offering 2 words of REAL positivity followed by constructive criticism. Read More

Tori S

Instruments: Piano Voice

I believe that it is truly important for any of my students to enjoy and love the music that they're practicing and learning. Therefore, it is important that I develop a specific teaching plan for each student. I encourage setting goals for each student to track progress and celebrate every accomplishment, making students eager to learn more. I encourage live performance, through either school talent shows, auditions, etc, because it is important for any vocalist to practice performing in front of an audience. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Practicing the piano efficiently is crucial for a child's progress and development. Here are some tips to help a child practice the piano effectively: Set Clear Goals: Define specific goals for each practice session. It could be mastering a particular piece, improving a specific technique, or working on sight-reading skills. Create a Routine: Establish a consistent practice schedule that works for the child's energy levels and attention span. Shorter, focused sessions are often more effective than long, monotonous ones. Warm-Up: Begin each practice session with a warm-up routine. This could involve playing scales, arpeggios, or simple exercises to limber up the fingers and get into the right mindset. Break Down Pieces: Divide challenging pieces into smaller sections or phrases. Practice each section separately before putting them together. This approach helps in mastering difficult passages more efficiently. Slow and Accurate: Encourage the child to practice slowly and accurately. Speed can come later; it's essential to build a strong foundation by playing with the correct notes, rhythms, and fingerings. Repetition with Variation: Repetition is key to muscle memory, but encourage the child to vary their practice. Play a section in different rhythms, dynamics, and articulations to enhance understanding and control. Focus on Problem Areas: Identify the sections that are particularly challenging and give them extra attention. Practice these sections more frequently until they become easier to play. Use a Metronome: A metronome helps develop a steady sense of rhythm and timing. Start slow and gradually increase the tempo as the child becomes comfortable with the piece. Record Yourself: Recording practice sessions allows the child to listen objectively and identify areas for improvement. It's also motivating to track progress over time. Ear Training and Memorization: Encourage the child to listen actively and develop their ear for music. Memorizing pieces helps internalize the music and enhances performance. Posture and Technique: Emphasize good posture and proper hand positioning. Correct technique prevents injury and allows for smoother playing. Take Breaks: Short breaks during practice prevent mental fatigue. Encourage the child to stretch, relax their fingers, and take a breath before resuming. Positive Reinforcement: Celebrate small achievements and progress. Positive feedback boosts the child's motivation and confidence. Stay Patient: Learning to play the piano takes time. Encourage the child to be patient and not get discouraged by challenges.

How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
The age at which a child should start taking piano lessons can vary depending on factors such as their individual development, interests, and readiness. Here are some general guidelines to consider: Readiness: The child should show an interest in music and the piano. They should be able to focus and follow basic instructions for short periods of time. Fine Motor Skills: Basic fine motor skills are necessary for playing the piano. Children should be able to control their fingers and hands to press individual keys. Attention Span: Young children typically have shorter attention spans. Consider their ability to sit and engage with an activity for at least 15-20 minutes. Physical Size: The child should be able to reach the piano keys comfortably. If they're too small to comfortably reach the keys, it might be challenging for them to play properly. Parental Support: Younger children might need more parental involvement and support during practice sessions. Consider if you have the time and willingness to help them establish a practice routine. Emotional Readiness: Learning to play an instrument can be both rewarding and challenging. Ensure that the child is emotionally ready for the ups and downs of the learning process. Teacher's Recommendation: A piano teacher with experience working with young students can provide valuable insights into whether a child is ready to start lessons. They can assess the child's abilities and offer guidance. Based on these factors, many piano teachers recommend starting formal lessons around the ages of 5 to 7. However, some children might be ready a bit earlier or later. Some kids show a strong interest and aptitude for music at an even younger age, and in such cases, introducing them to basic musical concepts can be beneficial. Before enrolling your child in piano lessons, you could consider introducing them to music in a more casual way, such as listening to music together, singing songs, and exploring simple rhythms on a keyboard. This can help gauge their interest and readiness before committing to formal lessons. Remember that every child is unique, and there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Observing your child's development, interests, and abilities will be crucial in determining the right time to start piano lessons for them.
