Why are you here?
The Piano Instructor
The purpose of the Hanon exercises is to enhance your ability to navigate the 88 keys.
The purpose of learning scales is to help your ear discern patterns in phrases and passages.
The purpose of many piano students is for them to feel the euphoria of playing a beautiful piece.
The reason I encourage students to drink water so that they're hydrated—so that their brains and bodies are operating optimally.
Everything in the practice room or studio room has a purpose.
What is yours, and are you bringing that purpose to the lessons?
Do the students know why you are there?
