Music is an exceedingly important part of our lives. It does a lot more than simply please our ears "it's an integral part of human development.
One or two years back, there had been an experiment done by scientists at the Varsity of California at Irvine in 1993. (published in the journal Nature) They had college students hear Mozart Sonata for 2 Pianos in D Major, a relaxation tape or silence. Immediately after these sessions, the students took a spatial reasoning test (the facility to put together puzzles) and the students ' scores improved radically after listening to the Music. The rationale is perhaps because music and spatial capabilities share similar pathways in the brain.
Another experiment was done later on by researchers at Appalachian State University and the analysts were successful as well in connecting music to boosting "brain power".
They gave preschool youngsters (ages 3-4 yrs. Old) training for 8 months. Youngsters were divided into 4 groups: Keyboard lessons, Singing lessons, PC lessons and No lessons. After 8 months of this treatment, the children were tested on their power to put together puzzles (spatial-temporal reasoning) and to recognize shapes (spatial-recognition reasoning) and the results were astonishing! They revealed that only those youngsters who had taken the keyboard lessons had improvement in the spatial-temporal test. (The youngsters did not, however show any change with the spatial-recognition.)
Another interesting observation I have made is the connection between the Medical profession and the Music profession "an enormous majority of M.D.'s are Classically trained musicians! I have faced many and have asked them all the same query "how do you make the link between the medical and the musical "and the response I have had is that they are both awfully complex and need a rare focus and mathematical attitude in several different directions right now. It's done by many years of in-depth training in either and/or both fields, which by the same rule - reinforce each other. So to them "the likeness in brain function and focus is evident and useful to both the medical and the musical. It will be interesting to experience the results of further study in that matter. Now, there isn't any definitive proof scientifically of the connection between Medical and Musical.
Now "for the 5 Tips for Piano Lessons!
1) Interest:
Evaluate the interest of your child. Is this something they really like "or is it your dream? The child should show genuine interest in music and a keyboard for their learning experience to be a pleasing and successful one. If they are not interested "ask why you even pursued it? Is it because you have got an inner desire for it? It Is never too late to start! Sign yourself up for Piano lessons if that's the case. I've have scholars of each age "some played when they were kids then give up. As they were given older, regretted giving up and vowed to one day pick it up again. Then there are others who always had the desire although not the break and now find themselves retired with lots of time on their hands. They've essentially become Piano divas! I give you these lovely examples to give you hope and an elbow "psssst! It's never too late! The student must be truly interested.
2) Instrument:
It's fine to start Piano lessons on an electronic keyboard. As time goes on, the coed will know in which direction they'd like to take the Piano lessons. If it is exclusively for personal enjoyment, it's fine to remain with a keyboard.
If it is for classical Piano coaching "then the scholar should be switched over to an acoustic Piano. In my experiences as a Piano tutor, I have noticed that a Spinet Piano (the ones with a low back) unless it is given as a present, should not be purchased. It'd be preferable to buy an "Upright" which is a Baby Grand Piano, but instead of the strings being vertical they are horizontal. The reason being, that the action on the keys is far better technically for the student's hand, and it sound substantially better to the ear.
3) Teacher:
Ask around and get feedback from others about their teachers. Find out the teacher's background. Where did they get the education from, how long have they been teaching, where do they teach from, what are the environment like? Ask current scholars how patient the teacher is and how do they feel in the lesson. You should get a pretty good idea about the teacher by how current students are progressing. Does the teacher's personality mix with your youngster's. Remember, this is a choice! In school the kids have to adapt to the teacher that has been assigned to. Them, and that is a nice thing. They learn to gel with differing kinds of personalities, but Piano is an extra-curricular activity and should be a pleasant one that they anticipate.
4) Schedule:
Youngsters can be simply overpowered by too much in their schedule. As adults "we've experienced overload for ourselves and it Is so counterproductive! It's definitely advisable to restrict activities for the kids not to be pulled in too many directions.
Once activities have been selected, I've found with my own kids and students that by writing down a regular schedule, everything gets done and there aren't any excuses for omitting to practice.
5) Dedication:
Once a schedule is prepared practicing piano will become part of daily routine. After a while, the scholar won't be so "worried" about time, but will want to achieve goals set by the teacher. The coed will need resolution for the craft to go from mechanical to musical. Give them encouragement to listen to a wide range of styles and genre's for them to develop their own taste for music. At an initial stage, determination can be ingrained in a student by participating in Recitals, Talent Shows and Worship Services. It takes diligence and dedication "also sacrifices to make piano a beautiful craft.
