Blooming into a piano player from your first lesson

If you like the rest of the people from Bloemfontein watched the Sunday night blockbuster film on channel 101 called, “I Still Believe,” you would start more firmly believing in God’s ability to heal and in music’s power to story tell.  The guitar player’s dad in the movie asserted, “For me, music is a hobby, for you, it’s a gift.” The truth is that many people in Bloemfontein are gifted musicians and talented piano players. It is also true that so many other people choose to play the piano simply because it is a hobby they are quite fond of.  Irrespective of your reasons for pursuing piano lessons, Bloemfontein is surely the place to get your musical fingers tapping on the keyboard keys. Just by taking a look at the online Bloemfontein Courant, you will notice such inspirational musical tales. The Odeion School of Music was mentioned in this online paper along with a feature article on the upcoming Bloemfontein based artist Kenny Mc’Vital. Kenny is 21-year-old singer and instrument player who has achieved over 12 000 fans just by sharing stories through his music.

So surely if you too want to join a piano lesson and make the most of your acquired musical knowledge, Bloemfontein is the place to do so. If you want to take your first piano lesson, you can decide whether you would like to take private lessons or if you would rather attend a piano school.

Why take your first piano lesson?

Bloemfontein has always been seen as one of the food capitals of South Africa, with a line of bistros and coffee shops beckoning passers-by. However, it may not only be the food from Koekela Huiscafe that makes you eat your heart out. It may be a Bloemfontein based piano player who will whet your appetite, encouraging you to get a taste of pure South African Jazz music. If you want to get a taste of music, there is no better way to start than by taking your first piano lesson. Your very first piano lesson may not teach you how to read music but will allow you to get to grips with musical theory. Once you learn to understand the sounds of and correctly play all the keys (C major etc.) on the keyboard, you know that you are more than ready to start learning another instrument as well. Perhaps you can learn to play the guitar too, or even the violin.  

Having started taking piano lessons, you can be sure to benefit in the following ways:

• The more often you play the keys on the keyboard, the more you develop your fine motor skills
• Research indicates that during piano class, older people showed increased levels of the Human Growth Hormone which significantly reduces aging-there you have it! Playing the piano makes you stay younger for longer
• Your heartbeat tends to slow down when you play the piano and you feel a state of calm devoid of any stress
• Piano lessons are soothing for the mind and soul
• It was found that piano players felt less depressed and anxious
• By sitting at a piano and moving your fingers fluently, you are enjoying a full-body workout

Choosing to play the piano is not only a way of improving your creative expression, but will also provide you with a form of escapism to escape the daily stresses of life. It is believed that just by constantly attending piano lessons, your entire life can drastically improve. For one, trying to master the art of playing the piano well requires a tremendous amount of perseverance. After several weeks of attempting to play a song fluently, there is no better feeling than sounding harmonically on that keyboard.

Piano lessons in Bloemfontein

The point of taking piano lessons in Bloemfontein is for novices to learn both piano theory and how to play the piano, and to enable good piano players to better their skills. Soon through constantly attending piano classes, you too will be able to play classical musical pieces that were specifically written for the piano like Beethoven’s, “Moonlight” sonata, or Rebecca Clarke’s, “Viola” sonata.

If your goal is to sound like the next Mozart, the truth is that without qualification it is hard to find a good piano school in Bloemfontein. The Jooba School of Music based on 54 Rose Avenue is an excellent school but focuses mainly on guitar lessons. We recommend that you take up private lessons or online piano lessons in Bloemfontein first.

By opting for private piano lessons, you can ask your private piano tutor to inform you of the structure of your classes before you sign up for your first piano lesson. You can also discuss with your chosen tutor whether you want basic introductory classes on the acoustic piano, or if you would like to advance to intensive piano playing. An added advantage of going down the private route in Bloemfontein is that you can work on your piano skills at your pace. Make sure that you do your research well before you settle for a private tutor.

Once you take your first piano lesson, you can dream of becoming a part of the Odeion School of Music.
