It can be difficult to keep your kids interested in learning an instrument, especially when it comes to piano lessons. As a mom of three boys, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to get my sons to practice, especially when they’re already swamped with homework and extracurricular activities! However, there are ways to make piano lessons more enjoyable and effective; my five-year-old son will tell you that Piano Academy isn’t just the place where he learns piano skills—it’s where he has fun with his friends and builds friendships while playing piano! Be a good role model If you want your kids to learn piano, be a good role model. Enroll in lessons yourself and practice at home. Show your children that learning a musical instrument can be fun and rewarding. If they see you enjoying it, they'll likely enjoy it as well. However, if your kids see you dreading lessons—and working hard to avoid them—they’ll likely pick up on that vibe and not enjoy themselves either.
Learn about music theory Piano is one of those instruments where learning music theory is extremely important, and it's so much more than just knowing how to read sheet music. While reading sheet music can be helpful, your ability to improvise, create melodies, and write songs will depend on your understanding of harmony and chord structure. A solid understanding of music theory can help you get ahead as a piano player—and make sure you never get stuck in a rut. It might sound scary at first (it does for me sometimes), but studying piano involves breaking down complex ideas into easy-to-understand concepts. Many piano teachers have their own ways of explaining things; that's great! Get your kids involved in music at school One of the biggest hurdles in learning a musical instrument is getting past resistance and apprehension, so it’s important that kids have a reason they’re excited about piano lessons. Find out if your local school district offers music classes—
if they do, there are likely opportunities for your kids to participate in after-school or extracurricular programs. If not, look into whether you can start an after-school music program at your child’s school; most districts will at least be open to discussing it with you. Consider group lessons While private lessons are great for focused one-on-one instruction, group lessons are also an excellent way to introduce children to a new instrument. If you're looking for a good foundation, it can be helpful to enroll your kids in piano classes or a piano academy as soon as possible. Not only will they get used to studying with other students, but they'll also be exposed to a variety of musical styles. The social aspect is important: so often adults worry that young children won't appreciate music if they don't learn it at home. With group lessons, your kids will gain insight into why and how music works so that later on in life it'll be easier for them to find their own musical identity.
