Enhancing Piano Lessons with Ms. Cheryl: The Power of Fun and Games

Why Do I Incorporate Games into Piano Lessons?

At Piano Lessons with Ms. Cheryl, I understand that learning piano should be an enjoyable and engaging experience. Integrating games into our lessons, whether online or in-person, offers numerous benefits that go beyond just playing pieces from beginning to end. Here's why incorporating games into piano lessons can be highly beneficial for your learner:

  1. Enhanced Durability of Learning

    • Playing games can significantly increase the retention of musical knowledge. When students are engaged and having fun, they are more likely to remember and apply what they have learned.

  2. Flexibility in Learning

    • Games help students adapt to different musical scenarios, improving their ability to apply skills in various contexts. This flexibility is crucial for developing well-rounded musicians.

  3. Increased Engagement and Fun

    • Most importantly, games make piano lessons more engaging and enjoyable. When students have fun, they are more motivated to practice and learn.

Proven Benefits of Fun in Learning

Research shows that children have a higher retention rate and maintain new learning more effectively when they are having fun and actively engaged. This is why we prioritize incorporating fun elements into our lessons.

Popular Games Used in Lessons

  • NoteRush App

    • This app helps students learn to recognize notes quickly and accurately. It's a fun way to reinforce note-reading skills.

  • Sproutbeat Website

    • With thousands of games tailored to your child's current learning level, Sproutbeat provides a vast array of engaging activities to support their progress.

  • Boom Cards

    • These interactive, digital flashcards are specifically designed to match what your child is working on in their lessons. If you're interested, we can provide the app for home use, ensuring your child continues to enjoy learning between lessons.

We often send links for these games, allowing students to play and practice at their own pace. These links are typically active for two weeks, after which we check in and make any necessary adjustments.

During our group lessons, we incorporate games as a part of our fun time together. This not only builds musical skills but also fosters a sense of community and collaboration among students.

At Piano Lessons with Ms. Cheryl, I believe that making learning fun is key to creating a positive and effective educational experience. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your child’s musical journey!
