6 Tips to maximizing your private lessons
Taking Private Lessons with the right teacher is a great way to get started on the path to achieving musical success, but after 22 years of teaching music lessons, I have seen a lot of student achieve amazing successes, and many that have stalled out in their learning.
In this episode, we’re talking some general tips on how to maximize your private lessons.
1. Be clear with your goals and what you want to accomplish. This includes when you are starting and throughout the lessons process to make sure you are learning the concepts you want to learn.
2. Be coachable and have the proper mindset. My teaching, no matter how good it is, will not help you if you do not trust my judgement and allow me to coach you.
3. Be an active participant in the lessons. Ask questions, take notes, and give maximum effort. As a Teacher, I am here to help you get to your goals, and I will do my best the best way I know how, you need to do your part by giving your best effort.
4. Commit to showing up every week. I can not teach you if you are not here, and you will feel stalled in your playing if you are not committed to your lesson time.
5. Your private lessons time should not be the only time you play. For every half an hour weekly lesson, you should be playing at least 30 minutes, 3-4 days a week to really internalize the lesson content for that week. If you come into your lesson without playing the week before, our lessons will feel stale because we need to keep covering the same topics.
6. Play outside of your lessons materials. You should be working on your lesson materials, but also it’s important to continue to play and practice other materials as well. Having balance in your playing will ensure you are learning and growing, while also having fun and enjoying a life-long love of music!
