Private lessons with a piano teacher in Edmonton

The Best Way to Learn Piano in Edmonton

Is it true that the piano is one of the most comprehensive instruments you can learn? Yes, by far! In fact, with the piano you can be completely autonomous: you play the melody, you "accompany" yourself, you can be a base for singers, violins, trumpets and many other instruments... it is surprising that within an orchestra, there is usually only one. This is proof of its power as an instrument, even within a large ensemble of instruments of all kinds.

To become a pianist you need perseverance, dedication, commitment and a lot of discipline: It takes motivation, practice, technique and a lot of dedication. 

The best way to get started playing the piano is to start with simple exercises and continue with your favourite songs or the styles you like best, such as jazz or classical music. Many teachers can also train you in music theory, they will teach you the note scale, major and minor chords, harmony, technique, reading scores... This learning will be easier if you have studied other instruments such as the guitar. The teacher you choose will adapt to your objectives.

When you decide to learn to play the piano or the keyboard, you often wonder if you are the right age to do so.It is true that for children or teenagers it will be easier to follow the piano lessons. They will get used to good practice of the instrument sooner, will assimilate technique, chords, major and minor scales and solfeggio more easily and will be stimulated to develop their own discipline and creativity to the full.

This doesn't mean you can't take an online piano lesson for adults - you can achieve excellent results too!

Adults who decide to learn piano begin with a greater knowledge of their musical tastes (and can therefore ask their teacher to work more on jazz or classical music, for example) and also know how to cope better with the working hours and frustrations that can inevitably occur in the early hours of piano lessons.

Before embarking on the purchase of a piano, which can be very expensive, it is a good idea to make sure that you want to continue studying this instrument in the long run. Especially if you are dealing with children, who often tend to change their minds, this investment can be risky. So opting, if possible, for less expensive temporary solutions such as a keyboard is a good solution. You can also contact former piano students or more advanced students to find out their opinions, to recommend brands of piano or keyboard or even to rent a piano. You can also read reviews on the internet before buying a piano. They can also tell you tips and techniques for learning the major and minor chords.

Keep in mind that you will work much better in a relaxed atmosphere. This first free lesson will also help you to tell the teacher what you expect from the lessons, what your musical tastes are, if you want just practical lessons online or also lessons in music theory or to do a small level test to see if you are starting from scratch or already have some knowledge of solfeggio or harmony or even practice.

Not only piano or keyboard, some teachers offer, in addition to piano lessons, the learning of other instruments such as guitar or wind instruments. Who knows if you don't feel like broadening your musical skills and, after having consolidated your knowledge with the piano, you launch yourself into a new adventure! 

One last piece of advice: if your child dreams of having piano lessons, be honest with him/her and let him/her know that he/she will have to practice every day.  Also warn him that the first few years are emotionally and physically difficult, so that he does not immediately become discouraged with his music teaching and miss out on a great opportunity. Learning is not easy, so it is important to persevere and stay motivated!
