More Information About Piano Lessons

Buying a Piano

We suggest students purchase a piano or keyboard for their lessons, as they will need to practice every day in order to develop their skills on the instrument. We recommend a keyboard with weighted keys, as this will feel most similar to an actual piano. An actual piano will have 88 keys, but most keyboards start from 61 keys and go up from there. Common keyboard brands found at music stores are Yamaha, Casio, and Korg. Many keyboard sets will come with a case, stand, headphones, and may even offer recording features for recording your own playing.

What is Taught

All students start their lessons at different levels of experience and with different aims and goals in mind. For beginner students who are new to the piano, lessons will be devised to give students the fundamentals of good piano playing. Students will learn the correct posture, hand position, and fingering techniques for playing scales and chords. Students can develop these skills through practicing scales, arpeggios, and simple melodies using both hands. For advanced students, topics that may be covered include more intricate skills, such as creating runs and fills to add interest and variation to their playing, to develop their repertoire of pieces they can play, and to develop their sight reading. Some students may have a specific genre that they are interested in learning, such as jazz piano. Students will learn the musical theory and techniques that underlay a host of musical genres. The teachers in Musika's network are able to recommend books or specific areas of additional study that they feel will advance each individual student and help to achieve their goals.

Piano Lessons for Kids

Musika recommends that children start piano lessons no earlier than age 4 or 5. The attention span and personality of the child are something to consider when thinking of taking lessons. Even if your child has no evident musical inclinations, piano lessons offer a great option for introducing your child to music. During their lessons children generally learn how to read music, the fundamentals of musicianship and sight reading, music theory techniques, and ear training.

Syncopated Rhythms

...some things we can think about during the writing process to help us write smart and catchy music that’s built off syncopated rhythms. Write while playing or singing to a metronome You can’t write syncopated music if you can’t tell where the beat is. It’s absolutely crucial that your metronome is a huge part of your writing process.

Five Cool Drum Beats for All Drummers

...The best drummers will tell you that the finest type of playing is not the manic, all-over-the-kit style championed by Keith Moon of The Who, John Bonham of Led Zeppelin, or Mitch Mitchell of The Jimi Hendrix Experience; while that brand of playing certainly has its place, there is something to be said for a drummer who can create a groove that fills space without being a distraction. These five cool drum beats are all masterpieces of understatement on the part of the drummers: 1.) “Lust For Life” – Iggy Pop: although this is hardly a relaxing, laid-back song, the steady groove hammered ...
