1. REACHING STUDENTS BEYOND THE WEEKLY PIANO LESSON 

Many traditional piano instructors feel that their job is complete once the lesson is over. This couldn’t be farther from the truth! Effective piano coaches understand the importance of goals that reach beyond the lesson, helping to fulfill and inspire students to create. Music shouldn’t be limited to thirty minutes a week – it should be a lifelong passion. 

2. PUTTING THE LOVE OF MUSIC BACK INTO PIANO LESSONS 

Students should be involved in every aspect of their music lessons – rather than the passive recipients of instructions from their instructor, students should have the opportunity to become active members in molding their musical experience. By letting students pick the music they play, effective music teachers inspire them to improve their skills and practice outside of class. 

3. FINDING FUN NEW WAYS TO USE TECHNOLOGY 

A “New World” music studio understands that technology is an ever-growing aspect of the music teaching world and strives to use it to its highest potential. A great music studio can embrace technology to the fullest by incorporating professional recording sessions and online jam tracks to keep lessons fresh and challenging. 

4. PIANO TEACHERS THAT ARE FUN & ENTERTAINING! 

Effective piano teachers are wonderful musicians, talented coaches, and – perhaps most importantly – engaging people. Piano teachers should be able to keep students engaged in lessons for years and inspire them to make music an important part of their daily lives. 

5. EFFORTLESSLY BLENDING FUN AND SKILL-BUILDING FOR A QUALITY MUSICAL EXPERIENCE

Many Old World piano instructors will have students play boring, uninspiring exercises until finally they drop lessons altogether! A strong music studio ties together skill-building with fun and creative activities, ensuring that students will always be excited to play and create!  

6. BEING IN THE “INSPIRATION BUSINESS” 

Music coaches should focus on inspiring their students to grow as musicians – much as they might like to, parents and coaches can’t make students love to practice; that drive must come from the students themselves. Successful teachers will inspire their students to constantly improve, giving them the tools to accomplish their musical goals. 

7. FOCUSED ON RESULTS

Students should be able to see themselves improving. Successful coaches ensure that students are constantly moving forward by focusing on results-based teaching techniques and setting concrete, achievable goals to strive towards.
