What can parents do to help prepare their children
for private piano lessons?
Listen to a wide variety of music. In order to provide a balance
to the amount of pop music that the average person hears in our
society, families should try to listen to folk, jazz, world and
classical music as frequently as possible.
Sing together! Encourage your children to sing; there are many
recordings of children's music
available. I strongly recommend that young children participate
in Music
Together or Dalcroze
and Eurhythmics classes. These are group classes which involve
music and movement. They provide an excellent foundation in various
musical skills -and they are fun!
