Practice Tip of the Month
OUR FINGERS ARE
DUMB!!! The muscles of the hand need
a minimum of
3 repetitions of a passage in order to remember it the next you play
the passage. If you play it few than 3 times, the fingers will not
remember it. After 6 - 7 repetitions of a passage, the brain is fatigued,
so move on to another passage. If you continue, the passage will probably
get worse and you will get mad. Your best window of repetition is
3 - 6 times.
Parent Tips
Even if you do not play an instrument, you can help your child succeed
in piano lessons. You can show how important the lessons are by getting
your student to lessons on time, check the assignment notebook during
the week, provide a quiet and consistent practice time, ask your child
to play for you, keep the piano tuned and in good working condition
and encourage your child to perform for recitals and other events.
Your child will pick up on your attitude and this will go a long way
to determining the amount of success your child experiences.
