More Information About Piano Lessons

Lessons in Your Home

Music lessons in your home offer a convenient option to learn music! Most of our students request in-home lessons for this reason. As long as you have a piano or keyboard in your home, then you should be all set to start your lessons! Children who have never played an instrument before may feel more comfortable studying in their own home, as it may be less intimidating than going somewhere else. In-home lessons also decrease the time and gas money spent traveling to a different location.

What is Taught

Whether you have an interest in learning to play contemporary, jazz, blues, or classical piano, piano teachers in the Musika network can help develop your playing through one-on-one lessons. Throughout your piano lessons, you will cover a wide range of skills ranging from basic playing, to music theory, all the way through more advanced piano study. For those just starting out, the essential elements of piano such as hand position and fingering technique are generally taught before moving on and applying these skills to playing major and minor scales and simple songs using one hand. Students then typically progress to learning chords, such as major chords, and start to put these into practice by learning simple songs. Lessons may also cover the theory side of piano, such as reading music, sight reading, and chord charts. Experienced players can work on certain aspects of their playing, such as improvisational skills, genre-specific playing such as jazz, or developing their repertoire.

Adult Piano Lessons

Adults take up piano lessons for a number of different reasons. Some people want to reintroduce themselves to the instrument having once played it in the past, while others are looking for a new hobby or just to learn a new skill for fun! Whatever the reason, there are major benefits to learning the piano during adulthood. Learning piano technique can help retain fine motor skills and co-ordination, it can keep the mind sharp due to the complex thought processes, and has shown to be good for preserving your hearing. Learning to play the piano can also be therapeutic, and is a great stress reliever.

Writing Guitar Riffs

...build them, so head over there if you’d like a more in-depth discussion about the world of musical modes. Each mode comes equipped with its own unique sound structure, and we can select certain modes to write in to convey different moods in music. For example, if you’d like to write a killer blues riff, you might want to consider memorizing the Mixolydian mode shape. This mode identically mirrors the major scale other than the seventh scale degree which goes down a half step. In the key of G, the notes in a Mixolydian mode are: G-A-B-C-D-E-F-G. Some modes, like the Locrian mode, are... Read More

Consider the thick, foam-padded twin straps that attach to the case and let you haul it on your back, like a back pack. The cushioning is easier on the body! Case Extras Many cases can come with a variety of extra things, like a humidifier, a thermometer, and lots of compartments within the case. Are these all necessary? Sometimes, they are. For example, every case should have at least one interior compartment, so that you have some storage inside the case for your rosin. Rosin shatters very ... Read More

Examples of this system include the “Ta-ka-de-mi” system, where the beat is always “ta” regardless of what its note value is, and the Gordon system, where the beat is always “du.” The most readily used example of a beat-based counting method is traditional counting (i.e. “one and two and…”). Although many musicians transfer to the traditional method of counting, they often begin their music education in elementary school with one of the other systems above, which highlights either note value or beat function. Perhaps the most stereotypically ... Read More
