WHY group piano lab LESSONS?

 

Group lab training increases the student’s self-esteem, self-expression and engagement with others.

Confidence

When learning to play the piano in a group, students get comfortable playing in front of other people (in addition to their teacher). Doing so helps them to build self-confidence and makes it easier to transition into playing in front of an audience outside of the group.

Less Pressure

When learning a new skill one-on-one, students often feel nervous which can hinder their learning process. The group dynamic helps to alleviate the stress. By having the teachers’ focus divided among other students, it creates a more relaxed environment with less direct pressure.

Competition

Instead of just the direct pressure from the teacher, the spirit of positive competition helps to motivate students. Often they will see others in their group play and will want to be as good, or better. This helps continuously push everyone in the group to be the best they can be.

Socializing

Learning in a group creates the opportunity for students to meet new friends who share a common interest. Who knows, members may end up collaborating with lesson mates down the road on a recording project or in a band!

Teamwork

In a group lesson, the teacher can facilitate team activities that require all participants to work together. These can include each group member playing a piece of one song, playing games, critiquing each other, and more. As a result, the group members reinforce and support each other’s learning.
