Heather’s Tips

Tips for Parents of Piano Students:

 

1. Be an audience for your child at least once a week.

2. Praise and encourage (ie Keep up the good work!)

3. If your child is losing interest, with a young child, a new bookcase or  a new book of tunes he/she would enjoy (at the level of his/her ability), or some musical novelty item will add spark. With all ages, choosing to take your child to a concert ( or watching a video) which features a piano player my be the exciting stimulus needed.

4. Learning to play duets is fun; With the teacher’s help, find a suitable musical partner.

5. Daily practice is a must. Start with a short time for beginners and increase as the level of assignments increase.
