Preparing For Your Piano Lessons

By Laura Gallagher


The first step to preparing for music study is first to find a suitable music teacher. It is normally preferable to have one within the same city you live in. Search engines might prove useful with regard to finding an instructor within the area. If, for example, you were looking for one in Fort Lauderdale, simply type in the keywords 'piano lessons Fort Lauderdale' and many listings will appear for schools and instructors in the city.

This classic instrument has a history of elegance with a majestic and versatile sound, which makes it a popular choice as an instrument for budding musicians. Whether you're a beginner or advanced player, preparing for lessons is a routine task that will help you progress steadily as a pianist if done with commitment and patience.

Many parents of young beginners are hesitant to make a big purchase of a commonly high-priced instrument, but it is also possible to buy a keyboard until the student demonstrates enough dedication to learning. Having an instrument to practice on at home is essential to preparing your songs and pieces that your teacher has assigned to you.

As the new learner begins to adjust to playing their instrument, the time will come to buy books and sheet music. These are essential in progressing in music as they contain printed notes of new songs or pieces that can be practiced.

To really get the most out of your music instruction, constant practice is a must. Normally, this is done through reviewing previously taught pieces that the teacher has assigned, and by setting a specific schedule in which to practice. Ensure that your fingers are warmed up by practicing technical exercises such as scales and chords.

Most accomplished pianists are versatile in their repertoire and can play vast amounts of different types of music. This can be achieved by having your teacher choose a repertoire which contains music from contrasting styles and eras of music.
