Balmain Piano Lessons - Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to travel anywhere for my piano lessons?

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

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

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

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 homes without a piano.

When do you offer Balmain piano lessons?

We typically offer after school lessons, on weekday afternoons to evenings, our Balmain 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 Balmain piano tutors 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 Balmain 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 one-on-one lessons? Why not Balmain group  piano classes?

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

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 Balmain piano teachers qualifications?

Only the best Balmain 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.

But 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 think the best way to answer this question is to look at the best of the best and see how often THEY took classes. Some of the best pianists in the past likely had lessons on a day-to-day basis. We will often find that major composers and pianists came from a musical upbringing and their earliest trainers were frequently one of their parents. Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven just to name a few had parents who were musicians and likely gave them day-to-day lessons.

Piano Practice is NOT Enough

This is how weekly piano lessons ought to work. The teacher listens to what the student trained in the previous week. The tutor would then give ideas on how to develop or teach new ideas to develop the new pianist both technically and musically. From there, they may add some practice tips and recommendations on what and how to train in the succeeding week. The student would then train for a week according to the coaches recommendations and this would continue from week to week. Unfortunately this is very hardly the way trainings happen. This all assumes one very crucial thing. That the student actually trained. Sadly more often than not the tutor will come to a lesson only to find that the student did not rehearse. 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 practice, but sadly even if the student DID train this may still be the result. Why? Because practicing is difficult. 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 practice is to eradicate 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 piece is more often than not an unproductive use of time. Playing a minor section slowly and precisely is often a requirement of good practice. Then repeating it over and over and over. Then they would want to pin point a different minor segment they are not comfortable with and do it again. I’m done making things easier here, but the fact is to assist us realise how challenging that is. How long should train be? I would be glad with fifteen minutes from a young child and 30 minutes from an elder child. How many 5 year olds do you know that could be attentive well for fifteen minutes without getting unfocused. Or even better, how many adults do you know that could do the same? And yet trainers anticipate that type of train every week from their students. Realistically it is seldom if ever going to happen that way. But an interesting thing occurs when the coach is sitting there. You have the tutor leading the student telling them what they need to practice and how many times to repeat it. The trainers can rectify bad habits and incorrect posture. These are things a young child, or even an grown-up would have a hard time doing in a determined way. How Often Should Lessons Be? For full effectiveness lessons should be held as frequent as feasible. If a student can allow lessons day-to-day, they’ll progress many multiples quicker than a student having lessons once a week. It’s as straightforward as that. Most of the lessons will be the tutor just practicing with the student. But that train is completely invaluable. Realistically No not many of us can have enough money to take a lesson daily with their tutor. Not only that, but not everyone needs to become the next Mozart. So determining how frequent to take lessons really depends on your goals. Think about just what you’re looking for in lessons. Let’s define some common objectives. Objectives for Piano Lessons

• Play one certain piece
• Play for my wedding
• Be able to play as a hobby
• Study serious as a lifelong pursuit
• Make it a career

If your ambitions for piano lessons is just to play one piece, obviously lessons day-to-day indeed aren’t needed. You may really be able to even study on your own! A piano tutor will continually be supportive and make the music sound the finest it can. If fund is an problem though, see if you can discover a lecture 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. Although this all changes if you desire to, or you desire your child to take this indeed sincerely. It doesn’t take place frequently, however I have a few students that would take an hour lesson 3 days a week, and then another hour of music theory for a total of four hours a week of lessons. These students are at all times the best. You get what you put in. If you don’t take lessons very honestly, you won’t get as much enjoyment out of lessons as if you put your whole emotion into it. As a pianist I can tell you that the pleasure that comes from playing captivating music is boundless. Don’t miss out!
