If you're thinking about teaching your child piano lessons you must make sure that you do it in a way so they do not get bored. Boredom is the number one cause of children wanting to quit piano, and it is certainly impossible to teach any child that is not willing.
Having a child that is willing to learn the piano is half the battle won. Teach your child in stimulating ways and you will have them become a piano player in no time at all.
Games are the best way to keep your child engaged in piano lessons. You can find games online that help you teach piano lessons to your children, and this is the best way to keep their interest. Children just love anything that is associated with a game and putting piano lessons in game form, whenever possible, helps them get through the parts they find boring.
You do not have to make the whole piano lesson fun, there can still be parts that they find boring. The trick is to make most of it fun to keep their attention.
If the child associates the piano with being more fun than it is boring he will want to go back to it. You always want to have him looking forward to his next practice at the end of every lesson. This is one of your goals when you want to teach your child piano lessons.
A simple thing you can do to start off the piano lessons is have a race to the piano. You can even start it from different points every time and they will love doing this.
You can even walk a block away and have that as a starting point for the race. Anything you can do that is creative and different will stimulate your child and make him see the piano lessons in a very different way.
Another thing you can do is to give him a simple reward every time he finishes a lesson. If you can promise to play a board game with him for a completed lesson, he will be more likely to enjoy the lessons themselves because they are associated with a positive reward at the end. This also brings the association with games into his thought patterns when he is thinking about taking his piano lessons the following week.
You can also laugh a lot and sing along with the music. If you can't sing that will just give you more to laugh about! When you teach your child piano lessons have a lot of fun with them and keep as much boredom out of the lessons as you possibly can.
If you're looking for some good games you can play with your child, to keep them stimulated, there are some courses on the Internet with great games you can play. Your child will love them and you will as well.
