You have wanted to sing or play the piano, or the flute, your whole life but never did it. Or maybe you played in school, but stopped. So now you have the time, the inclination and the financial means – let’s do it.
Here are the reasons you have running around in your head not to …
- I can’t read music.
- I don’t know if I will really like it.
- What if I can’t do it right away?
- I am an adult, what if I can’t play really well?
- I don’t know how to get started.
- Can I change if I am not good?
Here is what you don’t know
- It takes time.
- It is not easy.
- It takes effort.
- You need to set aside time in your life to practice.
- Your lesson time is your time – “me time”.
- You are giving yourself a mental lift when you add music to your life and learn to do something new.
- You can help direct your own learning and goals.
Here is what a private teacher does for you:
- Helps you move ahead in your learning in the most accurate, time efficient way.
- Avoid learning things incorrectly that hold you back or will have to be corrected later.
- Does the research for you.
- Helps choose and acquire music for you.
- Exposes you to listening and live concerts involving other musicians.
- Encourages you and keeps you on track.
What should I expect?
- Take a weekly or Bi-weekly lesson.
- You need to set aside time during your week to practice.
- You may want to invest in your own music – start a sheet music and a listening library.
- Expect that is takes time to learn.
- You will not play like the musician you hear on a recording.
