Steinway Enrichment Session March 2023 with Dr. Nathania Karina : Strategies to Deal with Busy Students (Who Don’t Have Enough Time to Practice)
After hosting many online events throughout
the pandemic, we were finally able to host a live onsite seminar at
House of Piano, Darmawangsa Square. Based on our survey, most of the
piano teachers in the club face the challenge of students who don’t
practice, mostly because they are too busy already.
Dr. Nathania Karina shared that yes, even
she has students who do not practice! It is a relatable issue for
everyone in the profession. So what can we do about it? This session
delved into various tips and tricks to motivate a student to practice,
from a diverse library of repertoire, to being involved in a supportive
and inspiring music making community (for example an orchestra, choir,
or any ensemble). Since piano is a solitary instrument to learn,
students often get lonely having to dedicate individual practice
sessions daily. Being a part of an ensemble will show students that
music is actually about community.
