Nowadays, more and more people are learning piano. With the extensive enrollment of art colleges, piano educators are also emerging one after another. In recent years, the "piano fever" in full swing has flourished in China. Between teaching and learning, how to choose a suitable piano teacher better has become a puzzling problem for most people. So what? What are the ways to choose a piano teacher? Below I have sorted out the methods of choosing a piano teacher for your reading reference.

Method 1 of choosing a piano teacher: Where can I find a good teacher?

Generally speaking, professional piano teachers work in music colleges, art colleges and art departments. A few piano teachers are engaged in free piano teaching. Therefore, to find a more professional piano teacher, it is best to find a full-time piano teacher in colleges and conservatories. Not every city in China has a conservatory of music and an art school that specializes in training musical talents. On average, there is only one of the nine major conservatories in China in several provinces and regions, and the art schools and departments of other universities are more or less adapted to local conditions. In addition to these areas, full-time piano teachers in some city art centers or professional piano educators graduated from conservatories are also good choices.

However, in recent years, the emergence of a large number of piano students has brought great business opportunities to piano teaching. There are also many piano teachers who fill in the blanks. Some are music teachers in primary and secondary schools and kindergartens randomly recruited by a music store or an informal art center, or students majoring in music in a college, and some amateurs who have studied music or piano are teaching piano! These people have greatly confused the market norms of piano education, so that some students with musical talent have lost good learning opportunities, and some have caused irreparable losses to their lives to a great extent! Professional piano educators suggest that before choosing a teacher, it is best to know some basic information about piano teachers, and it is best not to use full-time piano teachers without professional training. This is the first key to ensure the quality of students' learning.

How to choose a piano teacher: We are just learning amateur piano. Is it necessary to find a professional piano teacher to teach regularly?

This is a problem that amateur piano learners will encounter when they choose a piano teacher for the first time. Most of the purposes they learn piano are to cultivate their temperament, develop their intelligence, learn one more skill, hone their will, broaden their horizons and add points for further study. A few parents "prepare their children with one heart and two hands", so that their children may be able to embark on the road of professional piano learning. Then, most people who learn the piano just come with the mentality of amateur learning, especially in the early stage of learning the piano. The author has heard this view many times: at first, we just thought that it was very simple to enlighten the piano. Any music teacher can enlighten it, and then change to a better teacher when the technology is higher. Besides, good piano teachers are generally not cheap. As we all know, this view will lead some learners to regret for life.

I am engaged in professional piano education, and soon found that many kindergartens and art centers generally set up small piano classes, but most children's learning situation is not satisfactory. Originally, early children's music education was of great benefit to the cultivation of children. However, due to the low or unprofessional piano education level of some kindergarten teachers, it is found in our investigation that 92% of children who take piano lessons in kindergartens or art centers have many shortcomings: poor hand shape, no sense of music, difficulty in recognizing staff, and extreme lack of music theory knowledge ... all of these have laid a serious hidden danger for them to study piano in depth in the future. If not corrected in time, their piano learning career is likely to stop here.

There are also some piano teachers or art students whose professional level is not high, which may hinder the development or progress of students' musical talent. As the "examination fever" is getting worse, many piano teachers "conform" to the market requirements, blindly improve the students' level and show their "ability". Some parents will also compare the speed of grading with the children of relatives and friends, which will further worsen this situation. But is this encouragement good for real piano learning?

Whether studying amateur piano or students who want to develop professionally in the future, it is necessary and necessary to find a professional piano teacher to guide them. Teachers can make different teaching plans and difficulty levels according to different purposes of individual piano learning, so as to tap students' musical potential to the greatest extent.

Method 3 of choosing a piano teacher: How to choose between an old piano teacher and a young piano teacher?

Generally speaking, the old teachers are rich in teaching experience, and most of them are rigorous and serious, which is worth learning from some young teachers. However, due to physical conditions, some old piano teachers' fingers have become less flexible, so there are fewer demonstrations for students, which brings many unfavorable factors to piano teaching. The difference between piano learning and other cultural subjects lies in the teacher's demonstration as much as possible, especially during the primary piano learning period. Students follow suit, and sometimes it is better to demonstrate once after saying it a hundred times. Young piano teachers with solid basic skills have obvious advantages in this respect. It can be said that demonstration performance is one of the criteria for an excellent piano teacher.

Some students are very naughty. If strict teachers teach children well, then old teachers will be a good choice. However, some students are naturally timid or not very cheerful. Maybe young and active teachers will make children feel kind and the teaching progress will be smoother. Choosing a family piano teacher for children is a close contact between private education and family. Students should actively participate in the selection of teachers as much as possible, choose their favorite tutor, and like him * * * her * * *, so that it is easier to accept and love what he * * she * * teaches. This is also one of the keys to choosing a teacher.

Method 4 of choosing a piano teacher: How to know the teaching quality of the teacher?

Generally speaking, the contents of piano lessons are divided into several categories: the explanation of music theory knowledge; Explanation and demonstration of piano etudes, polyphony, sonatas and music; Knowledge of music history, explanation of musicians' styles in different periods. Amateur or unenthusiastic piano teachers, sometimes even polyphony and sonata are rarely taught, but only explained in exams. However, in many teachers' piano lessons, especially in middle and advanced amateur piano learning, there is little or no mastery of music theory and music style. Most learners have no feelings about the handling of music style and the mastery of various writers' genres. Many people think that as long as the skills pass, the fingers are flexible and the integrity is good, it is a good performance. In fact, this is just an introduction to piano playing. Most amateur piano teachers demand their students according to this criterion, so many laymen mistakenly think that this kind of performance is perfect.

As a branch of art, music, like other branches of art, needs everyone to express their unique understanding. As a piano player-the creator of the second dimension of music, we should try our best to understand the composer's meaning in the music score and then pass it on to the listener through our own understanding. It is very important to understand the originality of the second dimension, which requires our piano teacher to explain the writer's composition style. More importantly, we must have our own understanding and creativity, which is what people often say is the artistic personality. Music without personality is lifeless, and imitation can only turn people into sad tools to identify music! Therefore, a good piano teacher should try his best to guide and explore each student's different understanding of music, instead of blindly teaching students to imitate it. A good piano teacher should be able to mobilize every sensory cell of students and make music expressive.

Piano learning should only be a window to open the door of art. Looking through the window, the style changes of the whole art category in the historical period are generally unified. Starting from learning piano, learning music, painting, poetry and other art categories by analogy will have a good artistic accumulation for students' whole art study. This important task is worth every piano teacher's continuous efforts and exploration.

If you want to find a good and suitable piano teacher, you can attend classes if possible and judge according to the above standards. I believe you will have a good teacher and a good friend. ?
