Music teaching can really be fun, exciting, rewarding and challenging at the same time. The teachers themselves need to possess maximum levels of motivation, passion and determination in order to set a god example to students. While piano lessons give us all a chance to learn how to bring beautiful music to life through the keys, they offer us a great deal more as well. The piano offers you a chance to achieve something truly special, regardless of whether you are young or old. There are a host of benefits beyond the music that will last for the rest of your life, and make every practice session and frustrating lesson well worth it.
Since everyone learns in their own way, it can be difficult to find a piano teacher that is adaptable enough for your individual learning style. In fact, most people quit taking piano lessons because they had a bad experience with a piano teacher. Sometimes teachers get so caught up in the teaching experience that they lose focus and forget that they are supposed to be there to support their students. If you don't have a good learning experience, then you will not want to continue taking lessons, and you may never want to take piano lessons again. If you are essentially your own teacher, then you will have a higher success rate.
When attempting to find the right style of piano to play, you want to think about how major you are about learning. You will find some pianos are extremely expensive, and this type of piano may not be necessary for someone who is just starting out. Pianos do tend to hold their value, and if you take good care of it you can probably sell it many years later for a decent price when you are ready to replace it with something newer.
Learning online through an online piano course is a great way to play in your own home without having to fuss with scheduling or finding a teacher. You decide when you would like to learn your next lesson, as well as when you have the confidence to move on to the subsequent music lesson. Many people are already finding out how easy it so to learn how to play the piano on their own.
Piano lessons are definitely wonderful for learning how to play the music that you love. Regardless of whether you have a specific genre or you like to play a little of everything, the music is powerful. You are powerful when you play and you know it. As you feel the music flow through you and out onto the keys you can be transformed and it feels wonderful. Anyone can grab the best that the piano has to offer. They just need to commit to all it asks of you in return.

Why The World Needs More Music Teachers
Music is a key to the soul. When we talk, our inflections create interest in our words and convey emotions. Whenever someone speaks in monotone, you don't even want to listen. Why? The music is missing. Music is everywhere from shopping malls to the birds singing outside. While our society would be flat without music, this is not the only reason music is important. Music teaches life skills.
Through music, one can learn skills and accomplish tasks that seem impossible. Why else would there be a field called music therapy?
Experience is life's greatest teacher. Through learning a piece of music, students learn dedication, goal setting, time management, accountability and more. They learn how to listen to something honestly through observation. In order to polish a piece it takes perspective, the ability to step back and assess strengths and weaknesses. It takes critical thinking.
Music improves motor function, especially fine motor function. Music lessons can be extremely rewarding for students who are rigid in fine motor skills. As they learn their instrument, their fingers, hands, and arms, naturally learn new patterns which strengthen their skills. There are also studies that state increased motor function increases brain function.
Just showing up for lessons each week takes responsibility.
History becomes alive and active when students learn about composers, performers, different genres and style periods. Not to mention a foreign language as students begin to decipher dynamic markings, tempos that are written in Italian.
Have a student count a few measures out loud and math also becomes aural. Addition and subdividing abound!
Learning music is like a puzzle. Through attention to detail in many small parts the bigger picture is created. Phrasing, articulation, notes, rhythm, intonation, fingering, all come together to form the piece. Talk about learning the ability to multi-task!
Listening skills are also critical. The ability to be quiet and take something in is a skill many students in today's busy world can greatly benefit from. Many music students excel in school studies simply because they have developed the skill of listening and remembering what they just heard. They are able to easily process the information their teachers are presenting.
Music takes patience. Our lives are full of instant gratification, fast food, cheap clothes, internet etc. Music is real-time. You build character traits through the learning process. Mistakes do, will and should happen. Students will learn one of their greatest skills through mistakes, how to deal with them effectively, learn and move on.
Music creates confidence through public "speaking" and performing. It provides an opportunity to be part of a group when performing and putting one's self out there in a solo performance. It offers the chance for every child to feel special.
Music is creativity in motion. It is emotion projected in sound.
Music is science you can hear. We cannot see sound waves, but we can certainly hear them. Music is about trusting that something exists because you can feel it, not because you can see it.
Music is real life in sound.
So why do we need more music teachers? The world needs more people making a positive difference. Kids need skills. As a music teacher you do not have to actively think about giving kids skills, it happens naturally, organically. Through learning music, students learn more about themselves without anyone cramming it down their throat to do this or be that.
We all want to belong in life, we all want to feel valued, worth something. We all wish to contribute to society. Teaching music lessons provides the perfect opportunity.
