Mount Kuring-Gai 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 Mount Kuring-Gai traffic to get to your piano classes.

Do your piano teachers come to Mount Kuring-Gai? 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 great for beginners.

Introductory keyboards are an easy and affordable option for homes without a piano.

When do you offer Mount Kuring-Gai piano lessons?

We typically offer after school lessons, on weekday afternoons to evenings, our Mount Kuring-Gai 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 Mount Kuring-Gai piano teachers are experienced in teaching 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 Mount Kuring-Gai 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 Mount Kuring-Gai group  piano lessons?

Group piano tutoring are a great way for your child to socialise, but that’s about where the perks end. 1 on 1 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 one on one lessons progress a lot quicker 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 Mount Kuring-Gai piano tutors qualifications?

Only the best Mount Kuring-Gai 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 response to 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 olden times likely had lessons on a everyday basis. We will frequently find that major composers and pianists came from a musical upbringing and their earliest coaches 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 Rehearsal is NOT Enough

This is how weekly piano lessons should work. The coach listens to what the student practiced in the previous week. The coach would then provide recommendations on how to improve or impart new concepts to develop the new pianist both technically and musically. From there, they may add some practice tips and recommendations on what and how to rehearse in the succeeding week. The student would then train for a week according to the tutors suggestions and this would carry on from week to week.

Unfortunately this is very rarely the way trainings happen. This all assumes one very important thing. That the student in fact trained. Sadly more often than not the coach will appear to a lesson only to discover that the student did not train. Oh no! What does the coach do now? Rehearse with the student of course!

That’s what takes place if the student just did not practice, but sadly even if the student DID train this might still be the outcome. Why? Because practicing is hard.

Why Practicing is Tough

Let’s think about what we’re asking young children, perhaps as young as 5, to do. The best way to train is to remove all diversions sit down at the piano and work on sections of music that the student cannot until now play.

Playing from the beginning of a piece is more often than not an unproductive use of time. Playing a minor section bit by bit and precisely is often a requisite of good practice. Then recapping it over and over and over. Then they would need to trace another minor section they are not happy with and do it once again.

I’m over making things easier here, but the point is to help us know how difficult that is. How long should rehearse be? I would be glad with 15 minutes from a young child and 30 minutes from an elder child. How many 5 year olds do you know that could focus well for fifteen minutes without getting diverted. Or even better, how many grown-ups do you know that could do the same?

And yet tutors anticipate that type of practice every week from their students. Realistically it is rarely if ever going to happen that way. But an interesting thing happens when the teacher 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 coaches can correct bad habits and incorrect posture. These are things a young child, or even an adult would have a challenging time doing in a fixated way.

How Frequent Should Lessons Be?

For full effectiveness lessons should be held as often as feasible. If a student can afford lessons day-to-day, they’ll progress many multiples earlier than a student having lessons once a week. It’s as simple as that. Most of the lessons will be the trainer just rehearsing with the student. But that train is absolutely priceless.

Realistically

No not many of us can have enough money to take a lesson daily with their trainer. Not only that, but not everyone needs to become the next Mozart. So deciding how often to take lessons really varies on your ambitions. Contemplate about exactly what you’re looking for in lessons. Let’s describe some collective objectives.

Objectives for Piano Lessons

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

If your goal for piano lessons is just to play one piece, obviously lessons daily really aren’t needed. You may really be capable to even study on your own!

A piano trainer will continually be helpful and create the music sound the best it can. If budget is an problem though, see if you can trace a lesson of the piece on YouTube. If you never want to study anything else, then it matters a lot less whether you are playing absolutely correctly or not.

Although this all changes if you want to, or you want your kid to take this really honestly. It doesn’t happen often, but 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 always the best.

You get what you put in. If you don’t take lessons very honestly, you won’t get as much delight out of lessons as if you put your complete spirit into it. As a pianist I can tell you that the happiness that arises from playing captivating music is immeasurable. Don’t miss out!
