Marrickville Piano Lessons - Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to travel anywhere for my piano lessons?

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

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

Please call 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 budget keyboard is ok for beginners. Introductory keyboards are an easy and affordable option for households without a piano.

When do you offer Marrickville piano lessons?

We typically offer after school lessons, on weekday afternoons to evenings, our Marrickville 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 5 can begin learning the piano and basic music theory. Our Marrickville 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 Marrickville piano tutors 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 Marrickville group  piano classes?

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

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 Marrickville piano teachers qualifications?

Only the best Marrickville 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 lessons once a week.

On the other hand 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 personally think the best approach to answer this enquiry is to look at the best of the best and see how often THEY took classes. Some of the best pianists in history likely had lessons on a day-to-day basis. We will frequently find that main composers and pianists came from a musical family and their primary coaches were often one of their parents. Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven just to name a few had parents who were musicians and likely gave them daily lessons.

Piano Rehearsal is NOT Adequate

This is how weekly piano lessons should work. The trainer listens to what the student rehearsed in the previous week. The teacher would then give recommendations 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 suggestions on what and how to practice in the following week. The student would then rehearse for a week according to the trainers recommendations and this would continue from week to week. Sadly this is very hardly the way lessons happen. This all assumes one very vital thing. That the student in fact trained. Unfortunately more often than not the coach will come to a lesson only to discover that the student did not train. Oh no! What does the tutor do now? Train with the student of course! That’s what takes place if the student just did not rehearse, but unfortunately even if the student DID rehearse this might still be the outcome. Why? Because practicing is hard. Why Practicing is Challenging Let’s think about what we’re requesting young children, perhaps as young as 5, to do. The best way to rehearse is to eradicate all distractions sit down at the piano and work on segments 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 gradually and precisely is often a requisite of good train. Then repeating it over and over and over. Then they would need to pin point another minor section they are not happy with and do it again. I’m finished simplifying here, but the point is to help us realise how difficult that is. How long should train be? I would be pleased with fifteen minutes from a young child and 30 minutes from an older child. How many 5 year olds do you know that could be attentive well for 15 minutes without getting distracted. Or even better, how many grown-ups do you know that could do the same? And yet teachers anticipate that type of train 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 tutors can correct bad habits and incorrect stance. These are things a young child, or even an adult would have a difficult time doing in a fixated way. How Frequent Should Lessons Be? For maximum effectiveness lessons should be held as often as feasible. If a student can allow lessons day-to-day, they’ll advance many multiples faster than a student taking lessons once a week. It’s as easy as that. Most of the lessons will be the tutor just rehearsing with the student. But that practice is absolutely precious. Realistically No not many of us can afford to take a lesson everyday with their tutor. Not only that, but not every person needs to become the next Mozart. So determining how often to take lessons indeed depends on your ambitions. Contemplate about exactly what you’re looking for in lessons. Let’s outline some shared goals. Goals for Piano Lessons

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

If your ambitions for piano lessons is just to play one piece, obviously lessons everyday indeed aren’t wanted. You may actually be capable to even study on your own! A piano coach will always be ready to lend a hand and make the music sound the finest it can. If budget is an problem though, see if you can trace a tutorial of the piece on YouTube. If you never want to learn anything new, then it matters a lot less whether you are playing absolutely right or not. Although this all changes if you want to, or you want your kid to take this really seriously. It doesn’t happen often, but I have a few students that would take an hour lesson three days a week, and then extra hour of music theory for a total of four hours a week of lessons. These students are at all times the top. You become what you put in. If you don’t take lessons very sincerely, you won’t get as much delight out of lessons as if you put your entire emotion into it. As a pianist I can tell you that the pleasure that comes from playing mesmerising music is boundless. Don’t miss out!
