Benefits of Taking Music Lessons Instead of Teaching One's Self
Posted by Kay Stanford Jr Kastum at 2:56 AMMusic has a small, finite number of notes, twelve, yet the combinations you can make from these are virtually endless and have never been exhausted in hundreds of years of composition. As a result, paradoxically, it can be seen as very simple and yet unlimited in its complexity. To help you navigate this confusing world it's best to have a teacher.
music lessons Waterloo have been around for centuries. As a result, various systems of teaching and assessing are already in place. Finding a teacher with this background is simple, and usually even small towns and cities have teachers who have been trained traditionally. There are dozens of method books out there with proven systems that work. Having a teacher is necessary because if you're working through the book yourself you won't notice your mistakes.
Music theory is sufficiently difficult that beginner's need someone else to correct their work. This is true at the basic level, but even if you have the basics down, whatever you're currently learning is new to you and you'll need a teacher to mark it in the same degree.
There are certainly other routes you can go. Having a teacher outside of the classical tradition offers you a chance to learn from a unique perspective. Talented musicians have esoteric ways of thinking about music, and the benefits of accessing these are hard to measure, but always good! Knowledge is always richer for having been arrived at from diverse perspectives. There are many different kind of learners out there, and not everyone likes a traditional book that slowly accelerates in difficulty. As a student, you must consider what kind of learner you are and find a suitable teacher. You may believe you have unique needs that can't be met in standard music classes, and maybe you've even tried before unsuccessfully, but somewhere out there is a teacher for you who will dramatically change your musical paradigm for the better.
The final reason for music classes is that the inspiration and guidance is priceless. Interacting with somebody once a week (the standard schedule) can't help but encourage you, and as the bond grows between teacher and student you'll feel motivated to put the work in. You'll feel a rich sense of satisfaction rooted not only in your new ability to understand music, but in the rewarding feeling you get whenever you put in hard work to accomplish something, and all the better for having a teacher who you're happy to please who feels pride in his and your work. Also, the teacher's job goes beyond simply showing you where to draw notes on a staff, but in being an interactive musical resource. You can ask what he listens to, and who influenced him, and in so doing dig deeper and deeper into a world of music you didn't know existed. In short, it's hard to overestimate the various ways a teacher can accelerate the process of learning music, and in so doing, enter the student in a rich world of musical satisfaction and appreciation. Have fun in classes!
