(1) knowledge class:
Such as various expression terms, decorative sounds, symbols and so on. Music expression is a common term in music score, and it is a way to convey feelings or skills through music score. These terms are the most primitive emotional expression of the composer to the music, which is convenient for the performer to understand the music. Parents should write down all these expressions mentioned by the teacher so that their children can refer to them when practicing at home.
② Music theory:
A better piano teacher will expand some knowledge of music theory according to the note movements in the repertoire. In fact, the knowledge of music theory helps us to regularize the seemingly irregular and chaotic notes, which will greatly promote children's sight-reading and memorization. The knowledge of music theory seems to lead us to music. A very simple example, when children understand that sonata form is divided into presentation part, development part and final reproduction part, they will soon understand which phrases are the main theme to be presented and which development parts are to be changed when playing sonata again, and they should highlight the theme sentences with changed tonality when reproducing part.
(3) how to play:
How to play music, how to express feelings, sometimes specific to a certain phrase, a certain note. This is the most essential content that piano teachers talk about in class, and it is also what parents need to focus on. Interested parents can make more music scores of their children's tracks and synchronize what the teacher said, so as to mark what the teacher said conveniently. Other high-level teachers will also extend a piece of music to a more advanced performance method, some piano master's performance characteristics and so on. It's like knowledge that is not available in culture books. This is a shortcut to help children broaden their horizons and expand their new knowledge. Parents should record it and consult it with their children after class.
④ Demand category
These contents are generally tasks that teachers need parents to help their children complete after class, more like after-school homework, which needs parents to urge their children to complete.
Generally speaking, taking notes is also a process of learning with children. Because the teacher's class time is limited, many contents will not be elaborated, and children will not understand the knowledge points immediately. This requires parents to help children integrate and expand these knowledge points after class, so that children can slowly digest them during the process of practicing piano. Turn limited classroom time into unlimited knowledge acquisition.
Some parents think that they don't know piano, let alone music, and don't need to take notes. Taking piano lessons is just a task to pick up and drop off children. This idea is incorrect. If you don't have time to accompany your child to the piano class, you should take the initiative to record or video the teacher's lecture, and take time to review with your child when you get home. Since we have spent energy, time and money, especially children's precious childhood, we should make full use of this valuable knowledge, take ourselves as an example and establish the belief that children should study hard at an early age. In addition, studying with children can stimulate children's interest, which is a kind of self-improvement and promotion for children.
In a popular saying, "people who can take notes will not be too unlucky ~"
