[Today’s article “3 Helpful Tips for Parents of New Piano Students” was written by Jessica Peresta of The Domestic Musician.]
How Parents Can Help New Piano Students
Parents, encourage your kids to practice at least 10 minutes every day, help them with theory homework, and make sure you know what is being taught in the lessons so you can help them practice. Stay involved and have your kids know that you are a part of their learning the piano and are an encouragement to them really helps so much.
What Kind of Piano to Get
I would recommend a Yamaha DGX230 keyboard, which is great for beginners. Any Yamaha brand of piano is great!

Jessica Peresta has played piano since she was 6 and went on to receive her degree in Music Education with piano as the primary instrument. She taught elementary music in the public school setting and private piano lessons for many years. She wanted to create a beginning piano course that is easy to follow along, affordable for parents, and where students are learning piano no matter where they live.
