Piano lessons at The Art of Music!
Recently there have been quite a few requests for piano lessons at The Art of Music for both young and old! Hmmm, wonder why the sudden demand haha. (Personally, I think learning the piano is just as fun as the keyboard, but the keyboard allows me to tinkle around with sounds hahahha.) But piano is probably the most popular music instrument after the guitar, so if you master it, you can sit down at any piano, and tada!!! You're makin' music, baby!
I remember how, as a kid, I heard my mum telling me dad that she heard from friends this: playing piano allows a kid's fingers to be flexible and so might pick up typing on the computer faster. Now I have grown up and that is absolutely untrue, but I guess for piano enthusiasts, the piano has much more significance to them than a keyboard (both the tinkle-able one and the one with "Enter" haha).
I remember that as a child, I used to think that the piano keys looked like sponge cake fingers coated with black and white cream! Piano keys are always so fascinating to me. Small, plain and smooth looking, yet they produce such melodious sounds! The magic of the piano cannot be hidden from a child's senses, drawing it deeper and deeper into the wonderland of music and what it can do.
Now in my twenties and resigned to have been born lacking the play-instruments gene, I watch in envy at the people tinkling away effortlessly, expressing their emotions in a language unspoken and undissected by analyses. Pure, energetic, passionate, individualistic, serene, free, peaceful, and most importantly of all, true to oneself.
So come, discover the child in you and/or let your child discover his or her own road to wonderland through the ivory keys to the magical kingdom called Music. Unlock their potential, free their creativity, and you'll see then soar like white doves in the sky above - carefree, hopeful and proud of themselves.
