Where to Begin With Piano Lessons

 

Acknowledging your child’s artistic mind truly is an experience. Nothing is cuter than chubby fingers slamming down on tiny piano keys with a smile on his or her face. It fulfills a certain need in any parent to make their child thrive in life. But before you embark on any Mozart or Beethoven you should really make sure your child wants to learn the art of piano.

Signs Your Child Wants to Learn Piano

 

Mozart was only 5 when he learned piano and violin, spinning one of the most legendary careers in history. Believe me, your child can be a Mozart. The Best sign your child can give if he or she wants to learn piano or any musical instrument is interest.

As soon as your kid gives you a flare of the eyes when they first start thumping their fingers on the piano, acknowledge it and let them know they can do and be anything they want. Not acting on this basic need of knowledge and skill your child desires can be catastrophic in the early developmental stage of their life.

 

Best Age to Start Your Child on Piano Lessons

 

The best age to start your child on piano differs with anyone. Since anyone can learn piano at any page this makes it a very flexible instrument to learn.

However there is a difference between being mentally and physically ready to play the piano and just want to do it to say they did it.

You shouldn’t be signing up your five year old just yet. Due to the size of their fingers and learning ability you should instead introduce them to the instrument and music itself. Show them Mozart show them popular cultured piano music. Let them dwell deep into the art itself so they are ready at the appropriate age to learn the craft.

Most piano students start at the age of 10-15. And there are three main areas to look for to be sure your child is ready to start on piano.

Their hand size
Their finger dependence
Their willingness to learn

 

Best Places to Find Piano Lessons

 

Now that you know your child wants to learn piano, you are stuck with the decision of online learning vs one on one. As important as physical piano tutors are, you may be better off signing your kid up for an online computer version of piano classes. Some benefits of this include a lower cost, no need to travel to and from the piano studio, and an ease of mind knowing your kid has education at his/her very fingertips.

However, piano tutors aren’t going anywhere. Educational wise, especially for younger learners, getting taught one on one is instrumental to their mental health. It grows their social behavior as well as general fun for them and the teacher. You don’t get to share too many laughs with a computer.

For online learning I suggest checking out pianoground, pianomarvel, piano with willie, Piano Keyz, Learn Piano in 30 days, Hoffman Academy, The Online Piano School, and the Online Pianist. For piano tutors, I suggest checking around in your area for the best tutors. one of the most recognized piano studios is Cooper Piano.

Providing tunups, materials, and support to any student willing it has a strong reputation and a kind staff. Remember, experience is more important than the cost. You want to make sure your child is getting the best possible experience.

 

Materials Needed to Start Piano Lessons

 

The two most basic materials needed to being piano lessons are strong goals and a willingness to learn. Most teachers provide the piano, unless you are getting lessons in home, as well provide the learning material.

Strong goals are important for even the first lesson because your teacher needs to know what direction you want to go in. Do you want to learn some basic chords? Do you just want to know how to play songs on the radio? Do you want to become one of the best painists of all time?

A willingness to learn is another important thing to not only bring to the first lesson but every one of them. The more disappointed you get with yourself learning a new skill, but the harder it makes to learn it. Bringing a positive attitude and willingness will not only make you happier but will show how much you care to your piano teacher. Learn from your mistakes and there’s no stopping you!
