The Secret to Successful Piano Lessons

It doesn’t matter if you are new to piano or a seasoned veteran; having a fun and successful lesson is something we all dream about. You can’t always have the perfect piano lesson, but with a little help and some tips to keep in mind, you can have more engaging lessons in the future.

Pay Attention to the Sound

Piano lessons should be about learning new notes, chords, and songs, but you need to always listen to the sounds coming from the piano! Even if you make a mistake, you should be aware of those sounds as well to keep you focused on perfecting your lesson.

Get Creative

Let’s face it, going through the motions of a generic piano lesson can get quite boring! Going through scales and basic songs can make a lot of people lose focus and interest after a few minutes. Try to spice up your lesson by incorporating some creative ideas. 

Try making up stories during your lesson. Even if you are going through scales, you can create different scenes depending on the pitch. For low pitch scales, think about a scary scenario of a boy walking through a haunted house. For higher pitches, think about taking a walk during a sunshower and each note is a raindrop hitting your umbrella.

You can also improvise songs or sonnets at the end of each lesson with chords you learned during the lesson. It can be as simple or as complex as you like, it’s all about having fun and putting your new knowledge to use!

Another way to get creative with your lesson is to perform a duet with your teacher! This is a great way to loosen up at the start of your lesson and allows you to feel more comfortable with each other.
