Prestons Piano Lessons – Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to travel anywhere for my piano class?

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

Do your piano teachers come to Prestons? 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 Prestons piano lessons?

We typically offer after school lessons, on weekday afternoons to evenings, our Prestons 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 Prestons 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 Prestons piano trainers 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 Prestons group  piano lessons?

Group piano lessons are a great way for your child to socialise, but that’s about where the perks end. One on One 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 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 start 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 Prestons piano tutors qualifications?

Only the best Prestons 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 courses 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 personally think the best way to answer this question is to look at the best of the best and see how often THEY took courses.

Some of the best pianists in the past likely had lessons on a everyday basis. We will frequently find that key composers and pianists came from a musical background and their first 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 teacher listens to what the student rehearsed in the previous week. The teacher would then give suggestions on how to improve or impart 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 rehearse in the following week. The student would then practice for a week according to the coaches recommendations and this would continue from week to week.

Unfortunately this is very rarely the way classes happen. This all assumes one very crucial thing. That the student in fact rehearsed. Unfortunately 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 trainer do now? Practice with the student of course!

That’s what happens if the student just did not practice, but unfortunately even if the student DID train this may still be the result. Why? Because practicing is challenging.

Why Practicing is Tough

Let’s think about what we’re requesting 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 segments of music that the student cannot yet play.

Playing from the beginning of a piece is more often than not an inefficient use of time. Playing a small segment gradually and precisely is often a condition of good train. Then recapping it over and over and over. Then they would want to pin point a different minor segment they are not contented with and do it once more.

I’m over making things easier here, but the fact is to aid us understand how difficult that is. How long should rehearse be? I would be happy with fifteen minutes from a young child and 30 minutes from an older child. How many 5 year olds do you know that could concentrate effectively for 15 minutes without getting diverted. Or even better, how many adults do you know that could do the same?

And yet teachers anticipate that type of practice every week from their students. Realistically it is seldom if ever going to happen that way. But an exciting thing happens when the trainer 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 tutors can correct bad habits and improper pose. These are things a young child, or even an grown-up would have a hard time doing in a focused way.

How Frequent Should Lessons Be?

For maximum effectiveness lessons should be held as often as possible. If a student can afford lessons day-to-day, they’ll advance many multiples quicker than a student taking lessons once a week. It’s as easy as that. Most of the lessons will be the trainer just practicing with the student. But that rehearse is undeniably precious.

Realistically

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

Ambitions for Piano Lessons

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

If your objective for piano lessons is just to play one piece, clearly lessons everyday indeed aren’t desirable. You may actually be able to even learn on your own!

A piano coach will always be supportive and make the music sound the finest it can. If fund is an issue though, see if you can discover a lecture of the piece on YouTube. If you never desire to learn anything new, then it matters a lot less whether you are playing absolutely accurately or not.

But this all changes if you desire to, or you desire your child to take this really honestly. It doesn’t take place frequently, 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 4 hours a week of lessons. These students are always the best.

You become 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 entire emotion into it. As a pianist I can tell you that the happiness that arises from playing mesmerising music is boundless. Don’t miss out!
