Educational Value

After 50 years of teaching piano, I still love seeing students grow in their love of music. Weekly piano lessons, as well as home practice, encourages that growth. Playing the piano at any level promotes the coordination of mind and body. The student will learn to apply their thoughts through the instrument. Teaching that thought process includes how to organize multiple elements simultaneously, instantly and ongoing with the expression of emotions of both the composer and self. Skills that can also be applied in many aspects of the student’s life. As technical as all that sounds, the outcome of enjoying playing the piano is the main goal! I am including this weekly lesson plan here because I did not see where else to apply it. Weekly Lesson Plan - 1. The weekly objective is the ability to read and enjoy playing music as the student's existing level. 2. Review weekly practice and how student's week went, as well as if any questions or concerns. 3. At each lesson we review the assigned songs for playing how the composer wrote the song as well as the student being able to put their own feelings into the music.
