Personality & Learning Styles

In the context of private lessons, Piano teachers have the unique opportunity to adapt teaching strategies to match each student's personality.

Over the course of the last year, I have researched personality and learning styles in order to develop teaching techniques that will motivate my students to practice and perform with gusto! Not only do the students enjoy their lessons to a greater degree, but the teacher student relationship is strengthened because they know I have taken a specific interest in their most natural way of thinking, learning and doing.

The goal in studying learning styles is to discover each students true inner preferences for gathering information so that effective teaching methods can be established, a healthy teacher-student relationship will result, the student will achieve the desired result as a musician, and a strong sense of progress and accomplishment will dictate one’s own assessment of a long day of teaching.

Knowing a student's preferences for learning, we teach toward their strengths while helping them conquer their weaknesses.
