How to Choose a Good Tutor to Teach You How to

Play Keyboard

Having the opportunity to play keyboard is exciting rewarding and challenging.

You may have different ideas about how you want to start your musical journey, and there are

endless options and a wide variety of different ways you can learn.

It may be that you are the sort of person, who is very dedicated to study and can buy books and

learn from books only, or you could be the type of person who will prefer a private one to one

teacher, or alternatively an interactive online course might suit you if you have a busy lifestyle.

Whatever way you choose to learn make sure it is the right choice for you, and if you don’t get on

with one learning method, try another, but don’t give up, as the end result will be you transformed

from somebody where music doesn’t really matter to somebody who is passionate about music and

playing the keyboard.

If you have chosen the route of using a private teacher, then make sure you don’t rush into

recruiting any old teacher.

Try to get a teacher that has been recommended or has good reviews and testimonials on their

website.

Have a look at some keyboard and piano forums and find out from other people how they went

about employing their keyboard tutor.

It is really important to build a good relationship with your teacher, so after a couple of introductory

lessons if you feel you are not clicking with your teacher then before booking to many lessons try out

a couple of other teachers which will then give you a feel for which one you are going to get on best

with.

After all you want your experience of playing keyboard to be an enjoyable and happy one, so make

sure you get the correct teacher in place from the start.

Below is an example of how your first lesson may be: -

- Your teacher will introduce themselves to you, and give you an introduction to the

keyboard.

- After your chat they will then get you use to the keys and get you familiar with the note

pattern.

- After 10 minutes they will get you use to the feel of the keys by randomly picking notes and

asking you to find them on the keyboard and play a short rhythm on each note.

- They will introduce you to a scale. This will be chosen depending on your initial reaction to

finding the notes on the keyboard. Usually a contrary motion scale is a good place to start as

the pattern when played hands together changes at the same time.

- Your teacher will explain the treble clef in the lesson, and teach you how to find these notes

on the piano off a musical score.

- This will then be put into practice by playing a short piece of music with your right hand

only.

It can take many years of practice to reach the standard to be able play your own one hour song

repertoire on piano or keyboard.

But what if there was a simple method that could show any beginner how to do it in just 12 days?
