Reasons Your Children Could Be Quitting Piano

By Steven Graham


Every parent takes pride in his or her child being a musical instrumentalist. Many look for the best schools and enroll their children. It is disheartening when to see them quitting piano classes before they become masters. What could be the reason and how can the issue be reversed? Here are a few explanations and remedies to consider.

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.

Handling of learners by trainers is a factor to consider. Every learner appreciates an environment where he or she is handled well. Children are especially sensitive when learning aspects that are not mandatory. They need to feel that it is fun to learn. The tone used should be soft. You also need trainers with a reputation of handling students better. This will encourage them to return to class without fail.

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 your child choose piano or was it by force. In other case, it is the only musical instrument available to the class. Forcing the child will result in negative reaction, including quitting. If there are other instruments, allow the child to choose. You may even try one instrument at a time until you discover the one he or she loves most.

The time chosen should be exclusive for musical lessons. The results are not encouraging when other activities are competing for the attention of the learner. It could be a desire to join peers in the field or the child is too sleepy. Full concentration means that one learns faster and enjoys the sessions. Provide the instruments required to learn. The teacher should also be competent enough to make learning fun.

Competition is important when children are learning. When there is no competition, learners are complacent. With competition, they also show off a lot. There is also motivation because one can spot areas of strength and weakness while getting assistance from peers. Without competition, creativity will be diminished. Enter the children into contests and they will always look forward to the lesson.

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.
