I have took 8 piano classes at Diamond bar music school ofr my independent componet #2, they offer a 2 hours long one to one classes for begineer piano lessons,
I was taught with basic informations of piano, the names of the keys, instructions on how to play, and most importanly ear training.My teacher started with simple chords to start, and the proper hand posture, how to correctly move your fingers, I practice the scales and homwork at home with my keyboard.
My piano teacher taught me the twinkle twinkle little stars song~
My piano teacher told me the most important part in learning an instrument is to figure out the sounds, and break them down by know all the keys, i was taught to find out the name and sounds to different chords and scales, this isn't a one day thing, it takes long practices and experience, i had violin backgrounds before so i am able to figure out the notes of most out them, but the chords were hard to figure out. For the last class which was today, i asked him to teach me my favorite kpop song baby don't cry by EXO, it is a simple but super pretty song, he made notes for me and corrected my finger postures and helped me with the temple, now i am able to play it, i still need practice.
My essential question was how can music education maximize child's brain development, this piano class supported my first answer, children should be provided with a music rich environment, because music build your confidence and satisfaction when you successfully plays out a piece of music by yourself, and playing piano, you have to focus your left and right hands playing separate different notes while you are reading the sheet music, and also have to follow the right speed. Piano help you focus several different things at the same time and fully maximized the balance of the left and right brain.
