Nowadays, letting children learn musical instruments may have become the norm in most families. Classes, piano practice, grade examinations, competitions, and performances can be said to be the only way for some piano children. It may not be apparent if the piano learning time is short, but after a long time, the gap between children may gradually be exposed. Some parents may ask, why does my child not improve after learning the piano for so long?
In fact, there are many ways to learn the piano. It is not enough to just point at the teacher in class. Parents and children should pay attention to some problems!
I wonder if everyone will find various reasons to ask the teacher to take time off from class when they are learning the piano? This is actually one of the problems that the majority of piano children have. Maybe some people don't want to go to class because they haven't practiced the piano, because they are afraid that their problems have not been corrected, and they will be criticized by the teacher, thinking that they will go to class after they have practiced. But in fact, maybe you forgot the teacher's suggestion for correction when you were in class. You practiced the piano in the wrong way. Not only was it ineffective, but it deepened the wrong impression and wasted time. It's even harder to correct. Classes on time, the teacher will give corresponding guidance according to the problems you have exposed, plus regular practice, you can see the results.
For learning the piano, the most important thing is to practice the piano! If you don't practice the piano, no matter how good a teacher you find or how expensive you buy a musical instrument, it will be of no use. Learning the piano is not a one-step process, but one needs to calm down and take one step at a time to see the results slowly. After all, if there is no quantitative change, how can there be qualitative change?
Some people may say, I have also practiced the piano, but it is still ineffective, so you should consider whether you practice the piano according to the teacher's requirements, whether you practice slowly, whether you are blindly pursuing speed; whether there is targeted practice, Is it necessary to practice more in the key and difficult areas? Do you practice the piano regularly, do you insist on it every day, or do you fish for three days and dry the nets for two days? When practicing the piano, do you pay attention to the hand shape and fingering emphasized by the teacher, or do you practice the piano according to the method you think is most comfortable?
Basic skills are like "laying the foundation" in construction. Only when the "foundation" is firm can one consider whether a tall building can be built. Learning the piano must not be in a hurry, otherwise it may backfire. Basic practice can help you become more familiar with the instrument and increase your finger flexibility. Only by laying a solid foundation can you practice more difficult pieces later.
Practicing the piano is not only about playing the piano, but also listening to music. This is especially true when it comes to tunes that are being practiced. Whether it is the demonstration audio given by the teacher or the video of the master, let the children learn to listen. In this process, children can slowly learn how to interpret the emotions expressed in the music, see how the teachers and musicians express them, and then integrate them into their own learning.
I believe that many parents have heard the saying "Learning music theory is to let children avoid detours". Learning music theory is not to cope with the grade test, it is to make the child learn the piano more smoothly. Children who have studied music theory can better understand and perform music, and learn more difficult pieces more quickly.
I never participate in grading exams, competitions, and performances, and I never show myself on the stage. In fact, many times, participating in activities is to find a motivation and goal for children to practice the piano, and to provide children with an opportunity to exercise. Participating in activities, in the preparation stage, children will increase the time of piano practice, improve the efficiency of piano practice, and improve their performance skills; and during the performance, when children face judges or cameras, it is also a time to improve their psychological endurance. In the process, I felt the importance of stage performance. The results achieved are also an encouragement to the children's hard work in learning the piano, and a record of their growth.
No one will succeed casually. If you want to become the person who attracts attention, you must make persistent efforts. Behind every honor, there is a little bit of accumulation.
Learning the piano is not easy, so parents should pay more attention, find and solve problems in time, and the child's road to learning piano will be smoother!
