Rosie Mace gives private piano lessons in her home in Poway. Lessons last
30 or 45 minutes, depending on student's age, level, and ability to focus for
an extended time.
A 30-minute lesson is recommended for younger children at levels 1 and 2.
Children at level 2 may require longer piano lessons as more material
needs to be covered. For children on level 3 and above, a 45-minute
lesson is recommended.
Each lesson is designed according to the individual needs of each child. All
lessons are balanced, and include warm ups, music theory and sight
reading.
Learning How to Play the Piano Is a Three-Sided Process
Learning to play the piano is a great opportunity for a child - it brings much satisfaction, builds a great appreciation for music, teaches discipline, and gives confidence. I am very grateful to my mother for giving me the gift of music.
The Teacher - I believe that the teacher needs to have a personal relationship with the child, to be encouraging and understanding, yet demanding enough to help the child to progress.
The Student - "Practice makes perfect". While the piano lessons are well structured and fun, they are only one part of the process. Learning to play the piano requires practicing - this is the student's part. When children practice and learn a song, or master a skill, they feel satisfied and encouraged by their accomplishments.
The Parents - The parents have a key role in helping their child to practice. Young children need a parent to be with them while they practice, to encourage them, to read to them what the teacher has written in their assignment book. You can make this time fun - have your child "teach" you!
