St Leonards 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 St Leonards traffic to get to your piano lessons.

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

Please touch base 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 perfectly fine for beginners. Introductory keyboards are an easy and affordable option for households without a piano.

When do you offer St Leonards piano classes?

We typically offer after school lessons, on weekday afternoons to evenings, our St Leonards 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 St Leonards 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 St Leonards 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 St Leonards group  piano classes?

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 1 on 1 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 St Leonards piano tutors qualifications?

Only the best St Leonards 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.

Usually students take piano courses 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 myself consider the best approach to response to this enquiry is to look at the best of the best and see how often THEY took courses. Some of the best pianists in history likely had lessons on a daily basis. We will often find that main writers 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 likely gave them everyday lessons.

Piano Training is NOT Enough

This is how weekly piano lessons ought to work. The tutor listens to what the student rehearsed in the previous week. The trainer would then give ideas on how to develop or teach new concepts to improve the new pianist both technically and musically. From there, they may add some training tips and recommendations on what and how to rehearse in the succeeding week. The student would then practice for a week according to the tutors recommendations and this would continue from week to week. Sadly this is very rarely the way lessons happen. This all concludes one very vital thing. That the student actually trained. Unfortunately more often than not the teacher will appear to a lesson only to find that the student did not train. Oh no! What does the tutor do now? Practice with the student of course! That’s what takes place if the student just did not train, but sadly even if the student DID train this may still be the outcome. Why? Because practicing is hard. 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 eliminate all diversions sit down at the piano and sort out on segments of music that the student cannot so far play. Playing from the start of a presentation is more often than not an unproductive use of time. Playing a small section bit by bit and precisely is often a requirement of good practice. Then recapping it over and over and over. Then they would want to find a different small segment they are not comfortable with and do it once again. I’m done making things easier here, but the fact is to help us realise how hard that is. How long should practice be? I would be glad with 15 minutes from a young child and 30 minutes from an elder child. How many five year olds do you know that could focus well for 15 minutes without getting distracted. 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 coach leading the student telling them what they need to rehearse and how many times to repeat it. The tutors can rectify bad habits and incorrect stance. These are things a young child, or even an grown-up would have a difficult time doing in a focused way. How Often Should Lessons Be? For maximum success lessons should be held as frequent as feasible. If a student can allow lessons daily, they’ll progress many multiples sooner than a student taking lessons once a week. It’s as straightforward as that. Most of the lessons will be the trainer just practicing with the student. But that rehearse is completely precious. Realistically No not many of us can have enough money to take a lesson daily with their teacher. Not only that, but not everyone needs to become the next Mozart. So deciding how often to take lessons really varies on your goals. Think about exactly what you’re looking for in lessons. Let’s define some common goals. Objectives for Piano Lessons

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

If your goal for piano lessons is just to play one piece, obviously lessons everyday indeed aren’t needed. You may actually be able to even learn on your own! A piano tutor will continually be ready to lend a hand and make the music sound the best it can. If budget is a problem though, see if you can trace a lesson of the piece on YouTube. If you never want to study anything new, then it matters a lot less whether you are playing absolutely correctly or not. However this all changes if you want to, or you desire your child to take this indeed seriously. It doesn’t take place often, but I have a few students that would take an hour lesson 3 days a week, and then another hour of music principle for a total of four hours a week of lessons. These students are at all times the finest. You become what you put in. If you don’t take lessons very honestly, you won’t get as much pleasure out of lessons as if you put your complete heart into it. As a pianist I can tell you that the pleasure that arises from playing captivating music is boundless. Don’t miss out!
