PIANO LESSONS – KIDS LEARN BETTER WHEN THEY PLAY MUSIC THEY RECOGNIZE

It's very important for parents of piano lesson students, particularly students under twelve, to understand that playing classical music does not benefit children and young people near as much as playing music they recognize. In my years of being a musician and teacher, I've encountered a lot of parents who assumed that it was somehow "better" for their child to be playing classical music. However, your average eight-year-old has no knowledge of classical music. They may like listening to it if it's presented well to them, like hearing it on TV or in a movie. But children have no natural inclination to want to play it on the piano, particularly if it's unfamiliar to them. It's actually quite difficult. It's a lot of work for them, and far harder than simpler children's songs that they recognize. In the beginning of their lessons, and at least for the first two to three years, kids benefit the most from playing music they recognize. There are some great brain reasons for this. By playing music they recognize, they are able to take advantage of their ability ... [more..]

IS THEATRE EXPERIENCE BETTER IN LONDON?

Been to the theatre recently? Maybe a performance of Evita? Or maybe a rock musical? Do you think those travelling shows are as good as the original shows in the west end? There are some beautiful Theatres around the country particularly here in the northwest well suited to staging performances from the greatest performers and writers. The Liverpool Empire, The Manchester, Palace Theatre are two outstanding original Victorian establishments capable of rivaling any West End stage. These beautiful theatres should not just be reserved for the Panto at Christmas or the latest travelling kids show. Its nice to see them full to bursting as they were intended, the music filling the auditorium and the applause sounding down every corridor out onto the street. The income generated by travelling shows allows regional theatres to stage there own shows bringing new writers and new performers to the attention of the general public, so this is an argument definitely on the plus side for theatre loving people. I love going to the theatre and when the curtain raises and your in your seat in anticipation of the orchestras first note I guess it matters not where you ... [more..]
