No, we don't mean speaking softly! We're talking about the "Young Students"
forum of the
The Piano Education Page Forums. This is a place for young piano students or students-to-be to
talk about lessons, piano, teachers or any other piano-related subject with other students
from all over the world. The Forums is not a live chat room, but it is a place you
can leave messages and respond to messages from other piano students. You can do LOT more
than that as well. Customize your own screen on the Board, send e-mails to other Board
members, do polls, keep your own personalized notepad and much more. Read the Forums any time, but you'll have register
if you want to post your own messages. Registration only takes a minute and the info is
not used for any purpose other than the operation of the Board. Use of the Board
is totally free. Tell your parents you're are signing up (there's a special forum
for them, too), then go for it! Start talking with other piano students and
teachers all over the
world! You can also leave questions to be answered by all the piano teachers
who visit the Board, so go for it!
Tip of the Month - Would
you like that Beethoven with a side of Chopin?
Have you ever been asked to play the piano for
someone and are completely stumped to think of what, even though you’ve been
going to lessons for over a year now? You need to make a ‘Repertoire List’.
Go through all your piano books and write down the pieces you really like to
play, even if it’s really simple stuff. You can make simple pieces much more
interesting by repeating them either an octave lower or higher, picking out
an ending phrase and using this as an introduction. Now they’re good enough
to play for people. Keep your list somewhere handy so you can add to it. And
remember to play those pieces on your repertoire list often! As you learn
new pieces you like, you can add them to your list, too. Think of your list
as a menu in a really expensive restaurant. Next time someone asks you to
play, you can even give them a choice on what they’d like to hear, just as
they would get a choice of what they would like to eat!
 These
are places with neat pictures and sounds or they might be just plain weird! Check it out!
