Am I The Right teacher For You?
I have a 5 year old that wants to learn piano.
1
Unfortunately I don’t teach under 6’s. You would be better advised to find a specialist piano teacher. If you are curious to see if your child enjoys it before starting lessons, I would recommend using an app like Simply Piano.
How do I encourage my child to practise?
2
Set a regular time when they would practise in a week. Perhaps before/after homework as studies show switching between left and right brain activities can help us to learn more effectively.
My child doesn’t want to practise. What should I do?
3
Practise can feel like a chore. Encourage short bursts of 10 minutes and let them play the pieces they enjoy most. It is important to maintain the enjoyment.
Do you teach SEN kids?
4
Yes, if your child is in mainstream school and can listen/focus without a TA. Dyspraxia students are advised that their progress will be minimal as coordination, mirroring and shapes are vital components of learning an instrument.
