Piano Lessons – Kids Learn Better When They Play Music They Recognize
It’s very important for parents of piano lesson students, particularly students under twelve, to understand that playing classical music does not benefit children and young people near as much as playing music they recognize. In my years of being a musician and teacher, I’ve encountered a lot of parents who assumed that it was somehow “better” for their child to be playing classical music.
However, your average eight-year-old has no knowledge of classical music. They may like listening to it if it’s presented well to them, like hearing it on TV or in a movie. But children have no natural inclination to want to play it on the piano, particularly if it’s unfamiliar to them. It’s actually quite difficult. It’s a lot of work for them, and far harder than simpler children’s songs that they recognize.
