Piano lessons for kids were one of the first things I searched for when I started homeschooling my children. I wanted it to be part of their homeschool art curriculum. I wanted them to learn piano because I've learned before that children who learn to play a musical instrument do much better in their academic work, like math and science, than those who don't. Also, it gives them more confidence to learn and play a song on the piano.
Since I can't teach music, I decided to find someone who teaches piano lessons for kids. As I looked around my area, I discovered that it would cost close to $3000 for each child per year to enroll them. It wasn't affordable for our family, so I searched for a cheaper alternative online.
In my search, I learned about some online courses that teach piano lessons for kids. An online course would only cost me a fraction of the cost than if I enrolled them with a traditional teacher.
I ensured the class involved an introduction to reading and understanding the notes and the symbols. An online course is good if it teaches kids all the basic things they need to know before playing the piano. I let them practice as often as they want so they can play the song perfectly. At the start, I got my children into piano lessons every school day for 10-20 minutes. This went on for about 2 years. Over time, it has become easier for them to learn songs in a much shorter time.
Of course, up to now, I still get them to practice at least once a week so they remember their learning. Now, they can play the piano with much ease. Of course, when they have to perform, they practice a lot.
They all still perform in front of people. One of them decided to get into music production, and it blows my mind to think that he can create great music.
One day, I made my 10 year old write something about piano lessons for kids for his English Writing. I wanted to know what he thinks about it. Here is what he wrote:
Piano lessons for kids is good to learn. You can play music for others. Sometimes, you can make sad people happy when you play music for them. You can also get smarter when you learn the piano. You can play music for yourself when you want to. You can accompany other people who are singing. You can fill-in for other pianists who are not available. Other people like hearing you play the piano. You can play the piano when you’re bored. You can even compose songs or make up a small tune. You can play music for those who ask you. You can play on important occasions. You can read piano notes and piano symbols, as well. People sometimes talk to you about playing piano. Sometimes, they tell you that they like your music. You can practice for important occasions. Also, you can help others with playing the piano. You can teach them about notes or how to play a simple song.
So piano lessons for kids are beneficial from a kid's opinion.
Playing the piano is a great way to develop and improve your kid's skills. Unlike other instruments, the piano sounds excellent as stand-alone music or as a part of a group. The intense piano sound can captivate an audience with such power and soothe with serenity.
