Why I Love Being a Music Teacher!

The job of being a music teacher is a wonderful one. Today I received a wonderful text from a parent (see attached photo). Not only was it accompanied by an illustration by my student Jack (who is 7 years old), it reflected what he thought about our piano lessons together. It’s a great honor to sit with a child (or adult) for an hour or more every week and help them learn how to play an instrument. As many a music teacher knows, music lessons are often more than just instruction. They are a time to listen, share, and be a friend.

This particular student of mine has been studying with me since he was 5. He is quite advanced now (not a surprise since both his parents are musicians). It is my joy to see him enthusiastic about music and the progress he has made. I have many students that I started with at Jack’s age and now graduating high school. While my tenure as a music teacher lends to the fact that I’m getting older, it is one of the most wonderful things about sharing the gift of music with others.

New Years Resolution

New Years Resolution, Learning to Play an Instrument

It’s the first of the year, so we know what that means! New Years Resolution time! We often receive a lot of new requests for lessons at this time, and rightfully so. People are looking for a way to enrich their lives and expand their horizons. Music lessons are a great way to achieve that goal. Whether it’s conquering a life long goal of stage fright, picking back up with an instrument you haven’t played since childhood, or scratching something off your bucket list – we have all the ways to help you. Here are some things to keep in mind before sign up!

First, it’s very important to be prepared to fully commit to your new resolution! Practicing at home is crucial to your success. Also, owning or renting an instrument to practice on is a must. Our instructors are ready and willing to help you with that task. Second, it takes time to learn to play an instrument. Most students can expect to pick up the basics within a couple of months of weekly lessons. Mastery of an instrument can take years, so it depends on your goals. Make sure to communicate your goals with your instructor so that they can help you understand the length of time needed to accomplish your New Years Resolution!
