Forward with the age of your child depends entirely on whether you intend to use traditional methods that use only use the notes. think if you want to use conventional methods, then even the beginning before the age of six years.
The reason is that preschool children too young to standard methods, the notes are also available. Many have difficulty understanding the tasks required of them in traditional piano lessons outside the home and have great difficulty withabstract concepts and symbols are required to read notes.
If you want an easy to use as floor numbers, there are no age limits: every child can identify the numbers 1-12, a perfect candidate for the fun and learning music at the piano.
In terms of maturity, I would suggest, at the age of four or five, as a good age to start working with piano figure, and perhaps soon to start slowly introduced the concepts of notes, as in our book, I readMUSIC.
If you have difficulty with the notes, again and continue with piano by number.
A child should easily grasp the concept of reading in grades I submitted, and If They Are Not too young for the notes and could continue to benefit from piano number, until they have enough to Have to make the transition with ease.
Prevention is better than expected.
Preschool: I highly recommend starting from preschoolers to play the pianoNumber. Preschool children are just getting used to numbers and letters. Many teachers have found that to identify the number of children on the piano is a fun activity that reinforces the confidence with numbers.
The most important use of the number of piano for preschoolers is the first to recognize the ability of the child: The child can identify the numbers, if the graphic representation of these numbers (one side) to be represented ?
And 'something for a child to play voiceFigures as high as possible, but much more to recognize the symbols for each number. Many preschoolers They can play with all the numbered keys of a piano is, but have problems playing numbers (or symbols, that is why) that they found on the page.
Piano by number slowly builds skills are needed to decipher abstract musical symbols next, and promotes the child's feeling of security in the deciphering of success.
For children who can not yet identify the symbolsfor numbers, the keypad is ideal for building confidence with these symbols, with the added attraction that a "mood" good effect that learning is conducive to production of more complex skills.
Seeing the first twelve numbers, 1-12, on a piano helps children to spread, the numbers thought of as a sequential arrangement of the device.
Probably the biggest mystery of music classes for children of this age is to give children to be children while they learn. If you do this, and requiresincredible patience and creativity, will reward you with a constant commitment and sense of humor!
The younger the child, the less I expect. If you only know that the plan would be a nice place, you have a great victory, as did a teacher and a parent.
Kindergarten: I recommend starting with kindergarten children piano by number, and then limited attempts to make grades, depending on the experiences of child safety with the piano. Normally this is not a problem. kindergarten children are very willingfor games of all kinds, and begin the necessary skills to have some steps together in a group of movements.
Children this age are more comfortable with numbers, but tolerates more games set the stage for reading the notes. But you can do all games. It shows once more away from teaching notes as soon as you start up your eyes to fatigue, to see maybe 5 minutes at most. Sheet music is fascinating but very tiring for the children of this age group.Better to expose for 5 minutes at a time when the risk of running out and give them the feeling like failures.
By this age, you may be able to teach them chords (three piano keys played with the left hand), but usually I leave it on two agreements (two piano keys with his left hand) until it is clear two agreements that are easy to play.
I do not insist that children play with both hands at this point, that is, with the left hand chords and melody (numbers) with your right hand. Thisenough to do their job way through some moments of a song will be on display, always carefully selected to ensure their easy enough to create a master.
For example, a child should begin at this age, light note of the first three chords (three piano keys for the left hand), known as C, F and G. Each of these children can concentrate with enough repetition to make fun.
When a boy begins to read music, be careful to get the full mastery of the notes of the right handsay, the first five keys above Middle C, before introducing his left hand groped.
It 's my feeling that only the introduction of the concept of lines and surfaces "(notes) is more than a victory in this phase.
The reason is that the notes is more than an abstraction of the figures for children of this age. Children tend to what is most convenient for them and you can bet that at this age will 'piano numbers, because it is less abstract sheetMusic.
The children, allowing room for "piano by number", no matter how successful you are glacial pace, are ideal candidates for reading the notes because they are adequately prepared.
Primary school: first grade: At this age you can start with the number of piano, building trust, and easy to move notes a bit 'at a time, in a few months.
First graders seem to magically wired to try the piano! All necessary physical perceptions are available;The numbers are not a problem, playing with two hands is not a problem.
But when a child has difficulty playing with both hands simultaneously, do not insist, as many children in this age difficult to maneuver with the two hands have. It 'just the idea that two hands are involved, suspension, possibly simultaneously.
With numbers and arrangements of piano (two or three piano keys played with the left hand) under his belt, first graders are ready to take notes right hand, andresult in a study of agreements.
At this age children are emotionally ready to play the game as "happy and sad, and the teacher plays agreements and the child tried to guess their (the strings), as emotional and dramatic, happy or sad.
Kids love this silly game, almost like a game, and never tired of listening to and try to assess the emotional quality of the rope. Before this age, many children seem to grasp the idea of a problem sound (the piano chord) have acertain emotional quality (happy or sad).
At this point it is also possible the introduction of finger-games ", ie, teaching games, a child moving about the use of the index finger. I always have to start children with the index finger, if that's what is convenient.
It may take some time to get a child to correctly use all ten fingers, but it's worth waiting, especially if in the meantime, you can teach other things of value.
Believe it or not, you will let children knowif they are willing to use all five fingers.
I tell you the formula for success. It has three phases:
Teaching notes, numbers to get the children to decipher the commands and play the correct keys as possible, which comes with a finger to his opinion.
Run the idea of the five fingers, slowly, like a game as a joke. I always say, if you play with your index finger, "Oh, you were born with one finger on each hand, I see it between the fingers, all waitingroll! "Try to take 50 times and you start with more than one finger is all alone, I guarantee it.
The pace is best left to last. The only thing at this point is to play the rhythm. I never, ever exist in the rhythm of a piece of printed music, numbers or spreadsheets. Do not even think of rhythm in the usual sense for the students first. So try the simple rhythm games like "fours" that give children the idea of an orderly pattern of repetition.
To start the learning processFinger, beginning with a play called "threesies" and which are, from Middle C, 123, 234, 345 456, etc. with the right thumb, index and ring fingers in ascending order. Children love the complexity of this, but it is too difficult, after several attempts, then try something different for a while '.
Two more "rules"
The ideas keep coming back to again and again.
Not recognize a child's failure to take these ideas to show only comic surprise and move on.
Childrenthe piano has an uncanny talent show an honest effort if the task is not difficult incomprehensible.
Break down complex movements into simple to bits.
