Which piano would you choose for a complete beginner?

If money is no object, of course a very nice piano whether upright or grand can benefit even beginners.

Otherwise if budget is a concern, a good 2nd hand Kawai or Yamaha can be procured under 4K.

If unsure about interest, can always rent practice rooms or rent a piano from a dealer like Cristofori.

Just to recommend to all North Eastie, my child is with a piano teacher named Vivian. She is a certified piano teacher with experience teaching at Sonare, Yamaha, Cristofori before venturing out to teach one to one, and has been teaching since 2010s.
My child has a great experience learning from her, as she is engaging, and is able to coach my kid well. Also prep my kid well for ABRSM exam. Being a good teacher, I thought about paying forward, and shouting out here for anyone interested. If i m not wrong she teaches up to ABRSM Grade 8.

Do contact her for a trial lesson @ 9 3 2 6 9 6 9 Five

morn geraldine,
Is Vivian based in Sengkang? My child is also with her, and indeed she is a patient and good piano teacher!

Hi!

May I know that is the usual charge for grade 8 piano lesson? Thanks!

Depends on the qualification and the track record of your teacher, and also if you would like the teacher to travel to your place. You would be looking at anywhere from $70 to $120 per hour.

That will depend on your child's playing level.

The three main colleges offering bachelor degrees in Singapore are Yong Siew Toh, NAFA, and Lasalle.

Yong Siew Toh requires a high level of proficiency in piano playing of at least LRSM/LTCL level at point of entry, not to mention a significant performing experience. So probably out of consideration.

NAFA and Lasalle do accept Grade 8 ABRSM piano holders with potential. But I do recommend to enter this with standard comfortably at first level diploma like ATCL or ARSM to ensure a more positive learning experience.

Thank you so much!!!! She would like to try out the ARSM first, then see how it goes.

I wrote a new blog post for teachers who are struggling with students who don't practice. Parents might find the pointers useful also.

https://charleswupianostudio.blogspot.com/2023/04/my-student-did-not-practice-again.html?fbclid=IwAR36ZmDqtTZptHuCuxnOMXpymG7z2uyrfZRNf1a89Ug6ZCe16HLecSx4R4s

My Student Did Not Practice Again

I am sure the sight of a student who did not practice again was not unfamiliar to many of us teachers. I understand that it is frustrating and could suck the joy of teaching; I do know teachers who threw in the towel because of this. I must admit that it was a sore point at one point of my teaching career, but I decided to adopt a more positive approach because I genuinely wanted all my students to have a positive learning experience. Let me share with you a couple of pointers that hopefully could provide you with better solutions to this issue.

Empathize and diagnose

It might be an instinct for many of us to immediately ask “Why didn’t you practice?” in a disapproving tone when faced with a non-practicing student. We might even launch into a tirade chiding student or institute a penalty. Perhaps naively we think that the student would feel bad for disappointing us. But trust me on this, those actions are going to have opposite the effects we desire.

We could instead try to empathise with our non-practicing students. We could ask them gently for example “I’ve noticed that you did not do sufficient practice last week, could you tell me what prevented you from doing so?” When they feel that their teachers are genuinely concerned with their well-beings, they might start to share the real reasons and you could then start to find the solutions to those issues.

There are many possible reasons that might lead to decreased motivations to practice for example: lack of proper practice environment, poorly serviced piano, overbearing parents, relationship problems, lack of palpable progress, etc. We are not going to discuss the possible solutions of those issues in this article; my main point is we need to keep a cool head and work the issues cooperatively rather than simply asking a student to practice more.

Progressively increase practice

I think many of us are probably guilty of asking our students to practice a x amount of time every day. That was probably how many of us were instructed by our teachers to practice last time during our student days. Asking a non-practicing student to do this is probably only going to be a continual exercise in frustration as they would most likely be unable to meet the stipulated practice targets.

Instead, start by setting goals that could be realistically accomplished with whatever little practice time the student would be willing to commit at first. For example, if a student claimed he could only practice half hour during the week, assign practice goals that could be completed within that half hour. And then gradually increase the amount of difficulty of practice goals that would require the student to commit more practice hours. By achieving smaller and more realistic goals, the student would improve in confidence and start to find practice more rewarding. I find this approach very effective in my teaching practice and I have successfully rehabilitated many non-practicing students this way

You can realize that dream yourself, or better still learn together with your kids. The pedagogy for adults have improved significantly in recent years and many younger professionally trained teachers are more than willing to teach adults with age appropriate methods and materials.

I started when I was 17 and got my ABRSM Diplomas in my 30s, age is not a barrier.

Hi Monica,

Perhaps you can start with baby music programmes, such as Musikgarten. Musikgarten is backed by Early Childhood research, and offers music programmes suitable for babies in-utero to five years old. Over time, as your child expresses more and more interest in music, you can send them for individual music classes, and then you'll have a Little Musician in the house!

https://postimg.cc/xkz9WN4D

https://www.bloom.com.sg/contact-us/ is one of the few schools offering Musikgarten. You can consider going for a trial class first!
