Balgowlah Piano Lessons - Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to travel anywhere for my piano classes?

At Piano Lessons In Your Home, our trainers teach you in your own home, ensuring you don’t waste time stuck in Balgowlah traffic to get to your piano lessons.

Do your piano teachers come to Balgowlah? And on which days of the week?

Please enquire for more information as well as for information on Saturday and Sunday piano lessons.

Do I need to own a piano or keyboard?

We know pianos can be out of people’s budgets, that is why a cheaper keyboard is perfectly fine for beginners. Introductory keyboards are an easy and affordable option for households without a piano.

When do you offer Balgowlah piano classes?

We typically offer after school lessons, on weekday afternoons to evenings, our Balgowlah piano teachers are very flexible and will always try to accommodate the time that suits you best. Weekend lessons are also readily available, please enquire for more information.

How old should my child be to begin piano lessons?

Children as young as five can begin learning the piano and basic music theory. Our Balgowlah piano teachers are experienced in tutoring young children who are complete beginners, and have all the patience and personality needed to engage your child and give them best start in their musical journey.

What styles of piano music do you teach?

Our Balgowlah piano teachers are qualified to teach all styles of music, whether you’re interested in popular, contemporary, classical, jazz, musical theatre or even Nintendocore (yes, this is an actual genre). However, we encourage our students to explore all genres to show them just how interesting the piano can be.

Why enrol my child in 1 on 1? Why not Balgowlah group  piano classes?

Group piano classes are a great way for your child to socialise, but that’s about where the perks end. 1 on 1 piano classes ensure that your child won’t get left behind, and can learn at their own pace. In personal experience, piano students learning in individual lessons progress a lot faster than students learning in group tutoring.

Am I too old to start learning to play piano?

NO! There is no set age to begin learning a musical instrument, and the best time to start is right this moment - ie Now! Learn to play your favourite songs, learn how to read music, learn theory, or just about anything you’d like to know about the piano. Playing the piano is a fun and great way to exercise your creative abilities so don’t just dream about it, start learning.

What are your Balgowlah piano tutors qualifications?

Only the best Balgowlah piano teachers work with our students. Our piano teachers:

• highly experienced in teaching all ages and skill levels
• are experienced in playing the piano themselves
• have undergone a NSW Government certified “Working with children” police check
• are very friendly and patient to make students comfortable with learning at their own pace.

Normally students take piano classes once a week.

However if you just give me a minute of your time, I’ll tell you why that’s often not the best way to go. I myself believe the best approach to answer this enquiry is to look at the best of the best and see how often THEY took lessons. Some of the best pianists in history likely had lessons on a everyday basis. We will frequently find that key writers and pianists came from a musical family and their first teachers were often one of their parents. Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven just to name a few had parents who were musicians and possibly gave them daily lessons.

Piano Practice is NOT Adequate

This is how weekly piano lessons should work. The tutor listens to what the student practiced in the previous week. The teacher would then give suggestions on how to develop or explain new concepts to develop the young pianist both technically and musically. From there, they may add some training tips and recommendations on what and how to train in the succeeding week. The student would then practice for a week according to the tutors recommendations and this would carry on from week to week. Unfortunately this is very hardly the way trainings happen. This all concludes one very important thing. That the student in fact rehearsed. Unfortunately more often than not the trainer will come to a lesson only to discover that the student did not practice. Oh no! What does the teacher do now? Rehearse with the student of course! That’s what turns out if the student just did not rehearse, but unfortunately even if the student DID train this may still be the outcome. Why? Because practicing is tough. Why Practicing is Difficult Let’s think about what we’re requesting young children, perhaps as young as 5, to do. The best way to train is to take out all diversions sit down at the piano and work on sections of music that the student cannot so far play. Playing from the beginning of a presentation is more often than not an inefficient use of time. Playing a minor section gradually and correctly is often a requisite of good train. Then repeating it over and over and over. Then they would want to pin point another minor segment they are not comfortable with and do it again. I’m over making things easier here, but the fact is to assist us understand how tough that is. How long should practice be? I would be happy with fifteen minutes from a young child and thirty minutes from an older child. How many five year olds do you know that could focus well for 15 minutes without getting unfocused. Or even better, how many adults do you know that could do the same? And yet coaches anticipate that kind of practice every week from their students. Realistically it is rarely if ever going to happen that way. But an exciting thing happens when the trainer is sitting there. You have the trainer leading the student telling them what they need to rehearse and how many times to repeat it. The trainers can put right bad habits and incorrect stance. These are things a young child, or even an grown-up would have a challenging time doing in a determined way. How Often Should Lessons Be? For maximum effectiveness lessons should be held as frequent as feasible. If a student can afford lessons daily, they’ll develop many multiples sooner than a student taking lessons once a week. It’s as simple as that. Most of the lessons will be the tutor just rehearsing with the student. But that rehearse is completely invaluable. Realistically No not many of us can afford to take a lesson daily with their teacher. Not only that, but not every person needs to become the next Mozart. So deciding how often to take lessons indeed varies on your goals. Contemplate about exactly what you’re looking for in lessons. Let’s outline some common goals. Objectives for Piano Lessons

• Play one specific piece
• Play for my wedding
• Be able to play as a pastime
• Study serious as a all-time pursuit
• Make it a profession

If your objective for piano lessons is just to play one piece, obviously lessons daily really aren’t needed. You may actually be capable to even study on your own! A piano tutor will at all times be helpful and craft the music sound the best it can. If budget is an issue though, see if you can trace a lesson of the piece on YouTube. If you never want to learn anything different, then it matters a lot less whether you are playing absolutely correctly or not. But this all changes if you desire to, or you want your child to take this really seriously. It doesn’t take place often, however I have a few students that would take an hour lesson 3 days a week, and then additional hour of music concept for a total of 4 hours a week of lessons. These students are always the best. You get what you put in. If you don’t take lessons very sincerely, you won’t get as much satisfaction out of lessons as if you put your whole emotion into it. As a pianist I can tell you that the joy that comes from playing captivating music is boundless. Don’t miss out!
