Children’s Piano Forum. Everything about Children, Music and Piano. Adjust Your Expectations for Kids Piano. Please visit our main site Piano By Number. Far too many parents have unrealistic and unreachable goals for their children at the piano. Their vision is a child chained to the piano, happily accepting a half hour a day of difficult practice. How about a completely different vision for kids and the piano in America? To do this, you need to employ numbers as the musical language. Reading music is st...

Please visit our main site Piano By Number. When a child plays a computer game, they are limited by the software designer’s intent. It is not possible to make a move that has not been thought out by the software designer. I urge kids to play the piano slowly at first, in my attempt to convince them that they are burning a...

ADHD Kids and Piano | Children's Piano Forum

Children’s Piano Forum. Everything about Children, Music and Piano. ADHD Kids and Piano. Please visit our main site Piano By Number. I’ve taught many children with ADHD the piano, all with success. My personal opinion is that they all shared a problem with focus. It’s not that they weren’t capable of concentrating, but rather that they could not find a way to get interested unless the teacher made extreme attempts to reach them on their own level. My solution was to create that outlet for him. We cal...

Children’s Piano Forum. Everything about Children, Music and Piano. Autism, Kids and Piano. Please visit our main site Piano By Number. I’ve had a good deal of experience teaching piano to kids with various levels of autism and Aspberger’s syndrome and can safely say to parents that there may well be a dose of musical genius in each one of these children. And that sets the pattern for my experience with autism and piano: there is a solid connection between the two. David is five and is the warmest and bu...

Why Kid’s Piano Teachers Go From Page To Page | Children's Piano Forum

Children’s Piano Forum. Everything about Children, Music and Piano. Laquo; Avoid Purist Piano Teachers for Kids. Why Kid’s Piano Teachers Go From Page To Page. Please visit our main site Piano By Number. Why do most kid’s piano teachers go from page to page in the standard texts? Because they are lazy and uncreative. It takes a lot of energy to follow the child like a sheep dog, constantly trying to find out what will excite that individual child and engage their interest with the piano. It is far harder...

Children’s Piano Forum. Everything about Children, Music and Piano. Baseball, Kids and Piano. Please visit our main site Piano By Number. There isn’t a kid around who doesn’t understand the bases of baseball. Home plate, first base, second, third, and the final mad dash for home plate again. I often compare baseball and piano chords when I’m trying to give kids an idea of how chords work together in groups. What I am certain of is that every single child can be taught the rudiments of simple sheet music,...

Children’s Piano Forum. Everything about Children, Music and Piano. A Child’s Point of View. Please visit our main site Piano By Number. Many parents wonder, “Will my child have to unlearn piano by number when they go on to read music? 8221; It’s a good question, but it has a very simple answer, which I apologize for posing in the form of a question: did you have to unlearn using training wheels on your bicycle? But logic dictates that the harder a subject is, the more generous and careful the initial ap...
