Parental help

Parental support in the piano class is very important and necessary.

If you want your child to develop correctly and competently musically and comprehensively, if you dream that he  or she will learn to understand, perform and love music, then you will have to be patient and put a lot of effort into this.

Here are some aspects of how you can help:

1. Correct organization of time for home piano lessons. The child should not be tired, excited, etc. Creating the necessary silence during home activities: nothing should distract the child from the music.

2. The sound in the house of good music, especially classical. Listening to classic, jazz radio in the car can be very beneficial for children.

3. Help with difficult homework assignments for parents who play the piano or who simply know musical notation or provide parents (who do not know musical notation) a "video connection" with the teacher.

4. Encouragement after lessons and homework (any choice of parents, depending on the child's preferences: a treat, a toy, a trip to a favorite place, meeting with friends, etc.).

5, If you have never learned to play the piano, then now is the time to start.

Learn with your child . Ask them to be your teacher. This develops a sense of responsibility in children, forms the ability to formulate thoughts, helps to streamline the child's knowledge.

The game of "teacher" gives children the opportunity to discover their unexplored possibilities, and you will be given great pleasure from the possibility of such communication with him and, possibly, a better understanding of the child as a person.

6. Listen to your child's play and praise him as much as possible, even if his performance is far from perfect.

This is very inspiring for children and motivates them to further study music.

Arrange home concerts to which you invite your family and friends. Performing in front of the audience forms the ability to express themselves, increases children's self-confidence, which helps to cope in the future with excitementк in front of an audience, especially shy children.

Home concerts bring a lot of pleasure to both young performers and listeners

7. Take your children to music concerts, music  meetings, musicals, ballets, etc.
This is very important for the formation of musical taste and the general  development of children .
