Working with our two students back to back is an interesting teaching experience, because they are both smart and driven students with completely different learning styles. One student is intuitive with the piano and is picking up on things easily, but also gets restless easily and will get frustrated when exercises are physically difficult (like finger positioning), but he is obviously very driven to learn and play. I find the best way to get through to him is by jumping around within the lesson (and around keyboard voices) often. Our other student is a bit more reserved, and focuses so well when we start doing more physically demanding exercises (like switching between chords on the beat). His strumming is great, but I was even more impressed at his finger picking, and we began to write a new song! Can't wait to continue working with these two.
