Your child's first experience with music should be a positive one, and while there probably was much excitement in the beginning, after the newness wears off sometimes children's interest seems to wane. Learning an instrument isn't easy and it takes some dedication and hard work to make it past that beginning stage, and this can discourage some kids. To help make learning an instrument easier, here are some tips for success.
The choice of instrument is of major importance, and while your child definitely should have big input into this decision, some instruments are better than others for first timers. Pianos and stringed instruments are excellent choices, as well as smaller band instruments such as clarinets and flutes. The saxophone is another instrument that many children enjoy learning. Don't forget to think outside the box and consider instruments such as the guitar or the drums, which can be a lot of fun to learn and play. In the end, if you select an instrument that your child is excited about, you are more likely to have success.
Often children take their first lessons during elementary school, and this is an excellent beginning to music education. However, the classroom setting can be a bit dull, particularly when it comes to the music selections, which are chosen to provide a little something for everyone rather than focusing on a certain instrument. To complement your child's music education, private lessons can be an excellent option. Not only will this make learning how to use an instrument easier, your child will progress much more quickly with individual instruction. The better they play an instrument, the more they enjoy playing that instrument and private music classes can help.
Finding a private music instructor at a San Clemente music school, a Laguna Niguel music school or a music school in Dana Point, can be a great idea. In this way, your child will be able to have a bit more control when it comes to music selection, and that definitely can increase enthusiasm. In addition, private lessons are essential if your child wants to learn an instrument that simply is not offered at their school, such as the guitar or piano or something wild like the accordion or autoharp.
When you begin looking for a music school or instructor, your child definitely needs to meet the teacher beforehand or take a tour of the facility where the music lessons occur. You want this to be a good use of your money, so be sure that your child and the teacher seem to have a comfortable rapport. Another motivator would be to find a school such as Los Rios Rock School. This San Juan Capistrano music school offers private lessons in virtually every instrument, but beyond the lessons, children are placed in a rock band and get to perform at venues such as the House of Blues and Coach House. Your child's tuition not only includes the private lesson each week but also the Saturday sessions where kids work together as a band.
While you can select a great instrument, a great instructor and a great music school, all of this will be for naught if your child doesn't practice regularly. Practicing is often a chore-like task that many children do not wish to complete. To help facilitate practice, break practice sessions into small daily increments of time, maybe 10-15 per day. As a child advances, they can add a few extra minutes of practice. Transform practice time into fun, mini concerts. Invite over the grandparents or a favorite friend of the family for a weekly concert. Be sure to give plenty of encouragement and when you do offer up suggestions, do so gently without a critical tone. After all, one of the main goals is to have fun, so try to make practice as fun as possible.
