Teaching A Child To Play Piano
Teaching A Child To Play Piano
Teaching a child to play the piano is one of the greatest joys about being a piano teacher. You can take the skills you've learned through your long years of practice, rehearsals, lessons, and performances and use that knowledge in the process of teaching a child to play the piano. It is an amazing thing to watch a child who can barely hit tuneless notes on the black and white keys morph into a child playing actual songs. Even more than that is watching the pride and sense of accomplishment on that child's face as he or she learns a new song, scale, note, or melody.
There are unique challenges involved in the process of teaching a child to play the piano. Among those challenges are the fact that a child's hand aren't quite as big as a grown ups hands and all the finger stretching exercises in the world won't change that fact. Try to help challenge them by selecting music that will be challenging without being impossible for the child to accomplish. There is always a delicate balance between creating a good challenge and an impossible challenge.
When teaching a child to play the piano you want to be certain that you are allowing them plenty of small victories to keep them on task and on target. The piano is not an easy creature to tame and there are many challenges along the way. You do not want to turn a child away from the piano out of constant failure. Instead, provide a child with many small goals that he or she should be able to accomplish with a little bit of work and then work towards the larger goals.
We didn't learn to walk in a day. In fact, most children take about a year to walk. Why on earth should playing the piano be any easier of a skill to learn and cultivate. When teaching a child to play the piano, remind him or her often that you will be taking baby steps and learning many little things along the way. Remind them each lesson of how much they have learned and that they didn't know these things from the beginning. It is also important that you let your students know how proud you are of their accomplishments. Its one thing to challenge and we want to do that, but be sure to give credit where credit is due. That is probably the most important thing to remember when teaching a child to play the piano.
