Right Equipment for successful piano lessons! Statistics overwhelmingly support the fact
that students' motivation is much higher and progress is faster when they
practice/play on an adequate instrument; therefore, better piano teachers*
will require that a student must have a digital or acoustic piano with 88
keys and a hammer action for home practice/play. If you're concerned about the student's
commitment or interest in music before making an investment in the right
instrument, you can rent-to-purchase
the right instrument from us for about the same cost as an inexpensive keyboard. We recommend a Roland digital piano with Music Tutor Interactive as the
ideal instrument to learn to play the piano on. Acoustic pianos should be tuned before your first
lesson and at least once every six months thereafter. (There is not one piano
maker that recommends tuning
less than twice a year). Your piano should be placed in a well-lit, central
part of your home. Digital pianos should have headphones readily available.
Neither pianos in poor condition nor keyboards are sufficient for successful
piano lessons. *Better piano teachers know this as fact
and therefore will make this requirement. Be leery of a teacher’s qualifications if they say it is
OK to start with a keyboard or an old used piano. |
