Guide for Parents

Here are some things that will help your piano student thrive:

  • Encouragement to play piano at the same time each day, such as after dinner
  • A real piano that is regularly tuned, or a digital piano or keyboard with weighted keys. (Weighted keys build finger strength and allow for greater control of the instrument.)
  • If possible, a quiet place to practice
  • A growing library of music books at your student’s level (which I will assist with)
  • Listening to music, watching performances on YouTube, going to concerts – here’s a YouTube playlist to get you started: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcFqkljqNdvKfG7hh0QM_9iJHr7gVzBPy

Happy piano playing!
