How Not To Waste Your Money On Piano Lessons

Piano lessons with a trained professional are expensive, there is no getting around it. And if you stop to think about what a piano teacher, or any other kind of musical instrument teacher, does with their students it is easy to see why they are expensive. Each week this person who has spent decades of their life dedicated to the study of a musical instrument, performance, practice and history sits down with each student one at a time and, with patience, spends up to an hour engaging with the student. Conversation, listening, instructing, and perhaps a little joking. Dedicated interpersonal dialogue with a student and this musician gets to know the student. This musician gets to unravel the knots this student faces when trying to learn something. This musician unlocks their potential.
