Wondering how to best provide support and encouragement for your kids’ piano lessons, particularly when it comes to practicing? Here’s some great advice from Augustine, FL piano teacher Heather L… As a parent of a young pianist, you could be the very element in their music education that projects them to success with self-confidence, the ability to think critically, and a lifelong love of learning.

How Often Should Children Practice Piano?

As a piano teacher, a common question I get is: how often should children practice piano? While the answer to this question will vary because every student is different, we’ve got some general guidelines you can follow. If your child is working with a professional piano teacher, they will actually be able to identify your student’s learning style and their general attitude about practice, and then be able to determine the best practice schedule. With that said, kids’ piano lessons should generally take place six days per week if possible. How long each daily session is will depend on the child’s age. But, here’s a good guide to follow: Child’s Age Length of Piano Session 3-4 years 10 minutes 5-6 years 15 minutes 7-8 years 20 minutes 9-10 years 25 minutes 11-14 years 30 minutes Time suggestions should be adjusted accordingly. This may vary depending on your child’s maturity level, ability to focus, etc. Of course, if a performance is coming up, piano classes for kids or lessons may be extended.

Piano Classes for Kids

While having your kids’ piano sessions at home is important and allows for extra practice, classes with a professional teacher are always extremely beneficial. Booking a piano class for your child can set up a consistent routine for them to practice. Piano classes for kids also allow you to find someone you trust to work with them. You want to find a reputable teacher who your child enjoys working with, too. Remember if your child doesn’t click with their teacher, it’s always okay to find a better match.
