The Piano Studio for the Adult learner
The Adult Piano Student has my greatest admiration because learning a new language (music scores)and physical skill (playing the piano) as an adult requires taking a risk. You have so many questions… Can I really do this? Do I have time to practice? How will I ever understand the music notation? Will I ever be able to 'hear' the music? What is the difference between the black and white keys on the keyboard? And the list goes on…..
As a lifelong piano teacher, I am passionate about crafting helpful and entertaining teaching strategies for a positive learning environment for my students.
The difference between what a truly gifted pianist can do and what most could learn, given the right circumstances, is not large enough to warrant the dismissal of styding the piano altogether.
