Piano lessons are back in full swing! Straight back into it for children’s lessons this week with lots of games and activities to pull everything we’ve learnt previously about notes and rhythms from our slightly locked-down, foggy brains, including scrabble letter races up and down the keyboard; pulling surprise objects out of a lucky dip bag and playing what comes out; making caterpillar rhythms; paying matching games; stepping and skipping up lego steps, plus lots of imaginative compositions, duets, clapping, tapping and generally having a lovely time.
Music lessons are amazing for improving concentration levels (for children and adults), for zoning out of the craziness of day to day life, for feeling like half an hour has been spent well, and for enabling us to connect to something that is beautiful and expressive when words don’t seem to work. Personally, I don’t think we’ve ever needed music more than we need it right now, and I’m so happy to be back.
I’m full for after school / evening lessons at the moment, but if you have contacted me about lessons for your child, then I have you on my waiting list and will get in touch if and when spaces become available.
Adult lessons are also starting up again – give me a nudge if I haven’t made contact with you yet. And if you’ve been looking at a piano or keyboard in your house for the last year and wishing you could play it and are ready to commit to some lessons, then now is the time to start!
