Piano Success:

Regular Practice

The study of the piano lays the foundation of a lifetime of music appreciation and self-expression.
Regular practice, like regular homework, is essential for consistent progress and a feeling of accomplishment.
Here are some important guidelines for parents to follow:

  • Encourage your child to practice each assigned piece 5 times at least 4 days a week.
    This would result in an average practice time of:
    6-7 years: 15-20 min. each day
    8- 9 years: 20-30 min. each day
    9-12 years: 30-45 min. each day
    Over 12 years: 45-60 min. or more
  • Schedule a regular practice time without interruptions.
  • Be physically present for elementary aged children during their practice.
  • Be encouraging.
  • Attend all recitals.
  • Take your child to hear other pianists perform.

Study Tools:

Be Prepared

  

  • Students are expected to have access to a piano at least 4 times a week. An acoustic piano is preferable and should be equipped with a flat bench. An electric keyboard needs to include a detachable pedal, and is not recommended after 2 years of lessons.
  • GOOD LIGHTING on the music is essential!
  • Students need a 3-ring binder (1 inch or so) that is to be just for piano lessons. Assignment pages (and other information) will be placed in it each week and there will be a place for recording practice information. For young students this is making a check each time the piece is played. For older students this is for recording the time spent practicing each piece.
  • A tote bag is recommended to keep the music books and binder in.  It essential that all the music and the notebook are brought to each lesson.
  • Experienced students need to own a metronome.
