Music is a very important part of our lives. It does more than just please our ears "it is an integral component 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 analysts at Appalachian State Varsity and the researchers were successful as well in connecting music to boosting "brain power".
They gave preschool kids (ages 3-4 yrs. Old) coaching for 8 months. Children were separated into 4 groups: Keyboard lessons, Singing lessons, Computer lessons and No lessons. After 8 months of this treatment, the youngsters were tested on their ability to put together puzzles (spatial-temporal reasoning) and to recognise shapes (spatial-recognition reasoning) and the results were astounding! They discovered that only those children who had taken the keyboard lessons had improvement in the spatial-temporal test. (The kids didn't, however show any change with the spatial-recognition.)
Another engaging observation I've made is the link between the Medical profession and the Music profession "a large majority of M.D.'s are Classically trained musicians! I've encountered many and have asked them all the same question "how does one make the connection between the medical and the musical "and the reply I've had is they are both really complicated and require a rare focus and mathematical mind-set in many different directions at once. It's achieved by many years of intensive training in either and/or both fields, which by the same token - boost one another. So to them "the similarity in brain function and focus is obvious and invaluable to both the medical and the musical. It's going to be engaging to witness the results of further study in that matter. Currently, there's no decisive explanation scientifically of the linkage between Medical and Musical.
Now "for the 5 Tips for Piano Lessons!
1) Interest:
Assess the interest of your kid. Is this something that they truly like "or is it your dream? The kid should show real interest in music and a keyboard in order for their learning experience to be a pleasant and successful one. If they're not interested "ask yourself why you even pursued it? Is it because you have an inner need for it? It's NEVER too late to begin! Sign yourself up for Piano lessons if that is the case. I have have students of every age "some played when they were children then quit. As they got older, regretted quitting and promised to one day pick it up again. Then there are others who always had the need but not the chance and now find themselves retired with masses of time on their hands. They have actually become Piano experts! I give you these beautiful examples to offer you hope and a poke "psssst! It is never too late! The coed must be really interested.
2) Instrument:
It's fine to begin Piano lessons on an electronic keyboard. As time goes on, the student will know in which direction they would love to take the Piano lessons. If it's only for private pleasure, it's fine to stay with a keyboard.
If it is for classical Piano coaching "then the coed should be switched over to an acoustic Piano. In my experience as a Piano instructor, I have spotted that a Spinet Piano (the ones possessing a low back) unless it is given as a present, should not be bought. It might be better to get 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 much 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 ready practicing piano will become part of daily agenda. After a bit, the student will not be so "worried" about time, but will wish to hit goals set by the teacher. The student will need zeal in order for the craft to go from mechanical to musical. Encourage them to hear a large range of styles and genre's in order for them to develop their own taste for music. At an early stage, dedication can be embedded in a student by collaborating in Recitals, Talent Shows and Worship Services. It takes diligence and zeal "also sacrifices to make piano a pretty craft.
