The Creative Piano Challenge
Most adults wish they played ‘insert instrument here’ many also start lessons, but with a busy schedule it is really hard to commit to practice. Or the first few weeks go well then life happens and the same thing really. If you're an adult and want to learn music you must have a goal in mind. It makes it so much easier to fit your busy life around this one goal, and it's only for a few weeks. We highly recommend the 6 week challenge being the perfect amount.
Benefits of a Piano Challenge
What will the creative challenge cover?
Each 6 week challenge will have it's own theme. Some of the upcoming themes are -
-
Overcome your coordination and rhythms problems
-
Master reading sheet music and playing without looking
-
Stop being terrified of sight reading
-
Create your own arrangement of songs
-
Master/crash course chords and what to do with them
-
Overcome your Left hand weakness
Alongside the over-arching theme and tasks, there will be a 15 min consult to help work out what YOUR personal challenges that fall into the theme. Each lesson will be planned to fit you perfectly.
Ongoing Private Lessons
-
Easy to fall out of routine with a busy life.
-
Casual mindset if not working towards a goal
-
Easier to 'miss' lesson thinking it won't matter
-
More frustration from less instant gratification
-
Practice falls behind and lessons become practice time
-
Hard to see progress over the longer term
-
Most adult students who lack time quit after a few weeks because they lack structure, discipline and the right mindset to learn.
-
In today's world its really not even their fault but many find it daunting to start up lessons long term after a extended break.
Private Vs Challenge
Private lessons can be really great and we also offer them. But from years of experience and teaching adults only a small percentage really manage to make it work long term. Some people just work better with deadlines! What works best for you??
