You're Never Too Old

* to learn to play: How long have you wanted to play the piano? Are you worried this may be too unrealistic? Have you talked about this with anyone? Maybe it's time you tried. Or, if you took lessons as a child, tried again.
* to learn new tricks: Do you teach piano? Do you have reservations about teaching adults? Though if you teach children, you already know a lot about it.
* to make music together: While adults and children develop the same piano skills, their needs and expectations are very different.

Enter veteran piano teacher (and former adult beginner) Robert T Marchand. In Part I, he speaks directly to the new student--sometimes a beginner, sometimes a restarter--affirming their romantic attachment to playing the piano, while offering practical steps and advice for getting started and moving forward. In Part II, he addresses the teacher who, through exposure to a range of adult-appropriate materials and strategies, is encouraged to treat the student as an intellectual peer. While each party will benefit from chapters that are directly applicable to their situation, it's when they work as a team--two-gether--that the budding musician can emerge and develop to greatest potential.
