Tips for children to learn the piano
Learning the piano can especially exercise your willpower and is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Below are the techniques I have compiled for children to learn piano. Everyone is welcome to read!
1. In the wonderful world of appreciation, arouse children's interest in listening to piano music.
Although children in kindergarten are young, they have strong receptive abilities. It can be said that every child has a pair of ears for music. Therefore, it is necessary to create an appreciation world for children and try to let them have as many exposures as possible. Piano music. Children's piano learning is through the teacher's playing, and with the help of audio tapes, children can appreciate and listen. The melodious piano music and beautiful melodies are combined into moving pictures in each child's mind. The beautiful melody of the children's piano combines Children are brought into a poetic mood, and they often can't help but enjoy it. ?The piano is a very spiritual instrument. How you treat it will be how it treats you. What kind of foreign method you use to play it will be what kind of sound it makes in return. ?Piano learning for young children is conducive to the development of children's brains. Children have strong imitation abilities. When they see the teacher's investment in playing the piano or enjoying piano music, they will naturally pay attention to imitation.
2. In terms of fingering training, the requirements for young children must be strict.
Children have never been exposed to the piano. When they see the teacher playing the piano with their hands, they subconsciously think that as long as they touch the keys with their fingers to make the piano make sounds, they are playing the piano. But when they really started to get into fingering training, they felt that playing the piano turned out to be so difficult. When a child has this kind of emotion, the teacher must not be anxious. Playing the piano is a persistent thing. You must be strict in fingering training, which is the key to playing the piano. Beginners can try to use the "transfer" method when playing a single scale. For example: practice playing middle C with 1 finger of your right hand. First, keep the hand shape, lift the wrist naturally with the arm, and then lower it naturally. Touch with 1 finger. At this time, the rest of the fingers are easy to curl up due to poor retention. At this time, the teacher can count next to it? One? Two? Three? Four? Let the child's attention shift to counting, and at the same time let the child relax the other four fingers. . This kind of piano learning method for young children is easier for children who are just learning piano to master. Moreover, when they are proficient in this practice, they can count by themselves. However, children should be reminded that counting is for the relaxation of the other fingers, not for the relaxation of the other fingers. For simple counting, the natural rise and fall of the arms is very important. It is difficult for young children to master such strength. However, once the essentials of the movements are mastered, it becomes very easy. Children who are just learning are more likely to have flexion of fingers, which must be corrected. They must not form a habit. If not corrected in time, it will easily affect the child's future learning.
At what age is the best time for children to learn piano?
Some people say that it is better to learn early than later. This is only a relative term and cannot be generalized. Whether you can learn it or not depends on the state of your child. Some children enter the state of piano learning at the age of 3, some are still unable to receive music education at the age of 10, and some people may not even be able to learn music for their entire lives; the so-called state is a kind of talent of the child himself
There are currently three types of children
First, those whose talents are shown earlier. The age of such children is generally 2 to 3 years old. Although children have a dynamic sense of rhythm and imitation of music, some children even show obvious interest in music and like to play randomly on the piano, sing randomly, and dance. Dancing again, the sound of his little fingers touching the keys excited him. But this is largely a human instinct, just like a baby sucking milk. Many parents feel that their children are so well-informed at this time, so they set their children to learn piano earlier. This is a reckless move; in fact, almost every child will be in this state at this time. , but the most important thing for parents is to pay attention to the frequency of this state. Those with higher frequency may show their talent earlier. Because these children are young, they cannot learn piano. The most important task during this period is for parents to carefully observe and discover their hobbies and talents. Second, those whose talents are normal. The age is generally between 4 and 10 years old. If this type of child also shows the same state as the previous type of child, it can be concluded that it is more suitable for the child to learn music, because at this time, the child's hand bone development is relatively complete, and there is a new beginning in all aspects of intelligence and endurance. . And he or she can play small tunes that he or she has heard. However, children who learn the piano early like this must pay special attention to the intensity not to be too high. The third category is those whose talents are usually shown late. Aged between 11 and 18 years old. This type of children has strong learning ability. The bones of these students are fully developed, their intelligence and endurance are greater, and their performance is no less than that of the previous category of students. Fourth, the type of talent that cannot be displayed. It is generally not easy to persist and achieve certain results.
Analysis and cultivation of children’s interests.
Einstein has a famous saying: Hobbies are the best teachers. In other words, interest is the driving force behind human potential. As a highly technical instrument, the piano not only covers complex skills and technical content, but its accumulated works and literature are as vast as the sea.
During the learning process, if the teacher fails to protect students' interest in music, but blindly suppresses it, music will gradually become boring in students' minds, interest will diminish, and the efficiency of piano practice will be greatly reduced. There are two types of children's interests:
One type is the subjective perceptual factor interest (i.e., the child's innate musicality or understanding); the other type is the objectively formed rational factor interest (i.e., the entire learning process of the day after tomorrow). ); There are almost no children in the world who hate music. Almost every child has his own perceptual factors, even the disabled. This is why some blind, deaf, fools and even idiots are better than normal people. One of the reasons for being better musically. If parents think that perceptual factors are all the interests of their children, this is completely a misunderstanding. In fact, it only accounts for about 20% of the entire interest; the most important thing about its interest is determined by objectively formed rational factors. This acquired interest is the most dynamic and plastic. The only thing parents and teachers can do for their children is to Let’s start here with whether the child’s talent and acquired training are done properly. This is the secret to your child's success. If your child has no subjective interest in perceptual factors at all, and even cultivating objectively formed interests in rational factors will not help, then it is best not to waste time in this area.
