I've been discussing with Julie Knerr, a co-author of a new teaching method for children, about piano pedagogy. She is in the USA and has, with her co-author come up with an exciting and challenging method to engage children which I'll be using, with suitable children in the UK.
I'm also looking at the Faber series "Piano Adventures" and some other methods for adult learners including "Pianoworks" by Joan Bullard.
It's wonderful having the opportunity to discuss teaching methods, sharing ideas etc through the power of the internet.
What do you think about sharing pedagogy?
Whether you're just starting out or have had lessons for a while, learning to play the piano can be the most satisfying and challenging thing you've ever done! Don't leave it to chance- and if you've always thought you weren't musical enough, too old or just not cut out to play, think again.... With a little determination you could be playing the piano!
It's time to learn piano!
Don't think you're too old or young to learn! If you're young, you can start with games, activities to develop a musical sense and have fun; if you're older, learning the piano helps keep your mind active and your fingers physically fit!
Maybe you won't be a concert pianist but you can still have loads of fun and feel a real sense of achievement.
