Learning to play the piano
Some day, I was involved in discussions about educational piano with some fellow piano teachers from the 'flow types' different music - classical and pop / jazz - but also received many emails asking about learning the piano.
Teaching piano is my job in nearly 10 years.
Although not a master, but I love my job.
From an 'ordinary housewife' with the academic background of mathematics, should suddenly plunged into an educator in the music makes me have a lot to learn to deepen knowledge of music, classical piano technique, psychology and child paedagogy.
Could play the piano just was not enough to be able to transfer knowledge to play the piano.
This is where the challenge ..
Teaching piano sesimpel did not explain the 'do re mi' and 'tang ting tung' on the piano, but must also teach the 'logic to read music', how the expression, the courage to train, motivate, to teach discipline.
In the sharing of teaching the piano with my friends ..
Apparently there is a difference between my perception with fellow classical piano teacher of piano education.
Based on my experience over the years, I came to the conclusion that teaching students at the elementary level it is very important and more difficult than students at higher levels because it provides the foundation. If one provides the foundation, will be very difficult to repair.
I argue that, whose name was initially studied piano learn piano yes, can not also 'kotak'an between dikotak-learning' classical piano ', learning' piano pop ', or learning' piano jazz '.
Imho, yes learn piano learn music.
Learn to play the piano in here is to learn to 'master' instrument piano.
How to read music and translate them into piano playing.
Anyone who wants to learn to play the piano should have sufficient knowledge about the theory of harmony, too, scales and chords. The most important addition is also of course have to master the rhythm as the basis for music.
Learning classical piano does not mean 'taboo' using a chord, or if you studied piano with chord names so studied piano pop ..
Even Bach, Mozart and Beethoven were using harmony, scales and chords in music.
There are no special methods for 'learning classical piano', that there is a method to 'learn the piano'. Classical, Jazz, Rock or Pop music is a kind of flow.
Form of musical notes read it the same.
What distinguishes the 'feel' of the type of music played.
And 'feel' different needs so it can play different techniques as well.
But basically, the basic lesson piano can not dipisah2kan between classical piano, pop or jazz. So was the opinion of my friends teaching piano pop / jazz.
That is why, there could be children who learn to 'classical piano' for many years, become highly trained to read sheet music, but it can not play the piano without a score. According to my observations, this occurs because they do not have enough knowledge about the theory of harmony, scales and chord progression from the beginning to learn. In fact, if you know about harmony knowledge given from the start, in 2 or 3 years of studying piano, the children should be able to play a variety of 'colors' music.
