Reasons Your Children Could Be Quitting Piano

By Steven Graham


It is the joy of every parent to see his or her child hitting the keys majestically on the piano. This is why many will enroll the children in schools with enthusiasm. It then gets disappointing when they start quitting piano lessons over all manner of reasons. As you interrogate the issue, here are pointers that will enable you help the learner to stick in class.

They lack time to practice. Music lessons require a lot of practice. If children lack the time to practice because of school work or their guardians do not see the need, they will drop the lessons. As a parent, you should encourage practice and allocate time for practice to take place. This will encourage your child to become a master pianist.

Poor handling by trainer will also discourage most children from continuing with the lessons. Children are extremely sensitive and will avoid anyone who is not treating them well. Proper handling demands speaking in soft tones and making clear explanations. Choose a trainer with a history of handling children professionally.

Children fail to continue with learning if they are under too much pressure. Musical instruments are object of fun, like every other art. If a learner at the tender age is pushed too much, learning becomes a problem. This does not mean that all the time should be fun. Allow the child to enjoy playing free tunes and being creative. The trainer assigned should not exert a lot of pressure on learners. With reasonable force, it will be easy to learn.

Did you choose the musical instrument or was the choice made by the learner? Piano appears as the ultimate instrument to learn. However, there are other options including percussion, drums, brass and trumpet. Let learners choose what appeals to them. They will be motivated to go to class on daily basis.

There could be other activities competing for his or her attention. The time for music lessons should be set. If the lessons take place when other children are playing in the field or the child is sleepy, the results will be disastrous. Identify the perfect time for practice and facilitate the sessions by providing instruments or the teacher. When the timing is perfect, the child will even be rushing to learn.

Learning requires a bit of competition. It is discouraging is a child has no one to compete with. Competition gives learners an opportunity to show off. When learning takes place in solitude, there is no motivation. This will also affect creativity, an important factor when dealing with musical instruments. Competition should also be provided in the form of contests.

Understand why your child may desire to quit music lessons. Encourage him or her and try to resolve the pending issues. Piano requires a bit of patience to learn. Do not put a lot of pressure, else the lessons will be abandoned. Consider and provide options to make learning easier and enjoyable.
