Many parents have encountered such a problem: when the child first began to learn the piano, the enthusiasm was very high; but after a period of time, the enthusiasm passed, the practice became more and more careless, and the progress was not ideal. If you give up, it is a pity to give up halfway; if you continue, and you are worried about forcing your child to learn, the effect is not good.
Come and listen to the pianist Liu Shikun's answer, how many piano teachers have spoken!
01
Children are naturally "easy to come and go fast" Parents do not care, children do not learn well
The number of children who themselves are "willing to learn the piano" is very large, which is a very big change compared with the past.
I think it has something to do with the IQ of children. Now the children's living conditions are good, and parents pay great attention to the nutritional level in terms of diet, so their physique is quite good;
And when they were very young, they had already received all kinds of information, how the piano was, and they had already seen it in their eyes.
Now children over 2 years old can learn the piano; in the past, children basically started to learn the piano from 4 to 12 years old.

Today's parents let their children learn the piano, or meet the child's own requirements to send him to learn the piano, most of them do not want their children to become famous and famous all over the world.
So when the child does not want to continue, the parents will say: Alas, if you don't want to learn, don't learn it, anyway, our children don't want to be pianists in the future! So the child "reasonably" gave up halfway.
Some parents feel that if their children are not interested, they cannot learn the piano well, and it is better not to learn.
I say to parents: Don't ask your children, ask yourself!
Children's psychological characteristics are naturally "easy to come and go fast", their interests are easy to shift, especially interested in playing, if not playing, soon get bored.
At this time, parents should take it seriously, parents do not care, children can not learn well.
Some parents feel that playing the piano is a recreational activity, cultivating elegant interests, and a pastime when there is nothing to do.
Parents who have such ideas will not insist on urging their children to learn the piano.
What if your child is not interested in writing homework? Parents will not say "don't write if you don't want to write", everyone will try their best to let their children complete their homework, and the quality of the completion is better.
In these aspects, there are many ways for parents, and there is no problem in coming up with the same method to treat their children's piano learning.
In my personal opinion, learning the piano is a very hard thing, not all children can insist on learning, and it is normal to be unwilling to learn for a while. (The benefits of piano for developing children's IQ and emotional intelligence will not be repeated in this article)

If the child does not want to learn, he must also let him learn. Because learning to play the piano is never entertainment, pastime or game.
I would like to say to the parents of children who learn to play the piano: learning to play the piano is academics, just like children go to school and complete homework.
It is the nature of children to love to play, and everyone knows this truth, so I say that it is normal to be reluctant to play the piano.
As long as parents have confidence, determination and perseverance, children can learn well;
On the contrary, parents rely on their children to learn on their own, and there is no guarantee.
02
So the question is, can a strong twisted melon be sweet? Half an hour a day is enough?
"No interest in learning is not good" is for adults, adults achieve an academic, no interest can not learn well, but children are not.
You can't take the adult train of thought to set the child.
I told parents that we should use encouragement, guidance, rewards, and appropriate means of majesty and coercion to let children continue to learn.

The key to learning the piano is not interest, the child who is not interested is not worse than the child who is interested, and the child who is interested is not better than the child who is not interested, the key is to use the time on learning the piano.
Or simply put it this way, practicing crying and laughing, the effect of practice is not much different.
Half an hour a day, I think it's almost over. When I was a child, I began to learn the piano, playing for 45 minutes a day, my father was more strict, he did not play the piano seriously, and he would be beaten.
3-year-old children do not understand what the future, ideals, adults let the bullet play, play to the age of 10 to win the national championship, do not know how to combine the results with the ideal, the future and the like, that is the adult's business.
03 Did you know that talent is not a decisive factor either
Two common concerns among parents are – does my child have musical talent? Is my child's hands big enough?
Before answering these two questions, I will briefly tell parents a concept:
The piano is not prepared for the few and very few oversized hands in the world, the piano is not for the super musical genius, the piano is for thousands of people.
In this sense, normal-sized hands can be learned, but the hands are a little larger and more superior.
On the issue of talent, I do not deny that people with high musical talent have become great musicians. But that doesn't mean that ordinary people can't learn piano.
As long as the children with normal IQ, the vast majority of them can learn the piano normally, and for the vast majority of families, the purpose of learning the piano is to improve the quality, not to become a "home".
04
Children who learn to play the piano will do what they will do in the future
Playing the piano is like working in a workshop, it is a hard, boring, boring, and boring job.
Instead of seeing the child give up halfway, it is better to see this clearly in advance and have enough confidence (not to the child, but to the parents) to constantly urge the child to succeed.
Playing the piano is like making a movie, sitting in the movie theater to enjoy the movie, naturally it is a pleasing thing, but the process of making a movie is extremely tedious and even painful.
Therefore, he advocates that parents "must also let their children learn when they are not willing to learn."
Because learning the piano is particularly able to exercise the will, the children who learn the piano will do what they will do in the future.
