The majority of children begin instrumental music studies at the age of seven to nine years. This is in line with the development of fine motor skills (fine motors skills) and activities / experiences a child in elementary school, where they had to learn how to read the alphabet, sentences, and write before read notation. Delaying the study of music instruments to children twelve years old and above will cause a lot of problems, where fine motor was too stiff, it will be difficult for the child to work with, follow the teacher's instructions and start easily bored with learning methods for beginners, as well as children age seven years.

INTRODUCTION LESSON
Many things need to be considered in the early days beginning student learning - ranging from varying age (school, elementary school, teenagers, adults) physical condition, motor, the character of the child, to methods, curriculum and teaching philosophy is different. So that a teacher needs to hold a small interview or interviews are referred to as "INTRODUCTION LESSON" before starting the actual study of musical instruments to gather information in determining the appropriate method for prospective students.

FUNCTION INTRODUCTION LESSON:
opportunity to get to know students and parents better: background, readiness of children in learning, concentration, ability, musicality / talent, expectations, hopes, goals learn musical instruments.
communication and consultation between parents and the school of music (teacher)
socialization of teaching philosophy, curriculum, and teaching material (book)
determine the appropriate methods and books for students
Introduction This lesson is also useful to know whether the chemistry between teacher and pupil personality fit, so that teachers can also inform the method that will be used and deliver music school policy to parents. The latter function is to assist teachers in making lesson plans for the next lesson. An introduction lesson conducted to collect information only and does not offer promises / assurance and liability / obligation for each party. Here teachers can discuss with parents about the condition and information about her - whether her son was ready mentally and physically to study the piano, give advice about what could be done in the future, and (if it does not fit) the teacher can suggest that teachers who can teach the child is.

Does a student have studied the previous instrument or not, an introduction lesson to be done, so that teachers can obtain information, as follows .:

MATURITY STUDENTS
Introduction lesson can begin by asking age, grade, school and home address. Ask also about the reasons why he wanted to learn the piano! Why should the instrument piano? What kind of music he likes? What would happen in the answer is evidence of maturity and readiness later in the study. During the introduction lesson, parents should be present to participate in this process and during the same teacher should observe the behavior and interaction of parents - students. Do students have the ability to learn independently and able to follow instructions? Children can interact with courteous, obey and can sit quietly during this process is a sign of maturity of the child, that the child is able to receive instructions from others and able to concentrate. While children who can not sit still, always moving, like to argue, rough-spoken or silent and shy, this is a sign that the child will be more difficult to teach.

"Starting at the right age is a key element to the success of Reviews their lessons (CHILD-LED)"
Some people will tell you - the sooner the better,
but this approach can actually backfire if the student is not ready for musical study.

BASIC CONCEPTS OF KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY
Some activities can be carried out to determine the extent to which knowledge of students in the basic concept of playing the piano. One is the activity of the game to find out if students know the difference between RH and LH, finger numbers and alphabet used in music? If the student can play a few songs without getting formal music instruction, then it is a sign that the students can learn by rote and music based on auditory acuity (ear training). Examples of themes to be discussed in the introduction lesson to learn basic concepts and ability students:
The introduction of the black keys and white keys along with the group
Low high concept pitch
The concept of soft loud sound
How to suppress the long and short keys
UNDERSTANDING ELEMENT TONE AND HEARING Sharpness (EAR TRAINING)
Pupils can be asked to sing the melody of a song he knew. This is done to determine the readiness of oral (aural) students. Teachers can play a few notes on the piano and asked the students whether they will tone. sound moves higher or lower? Try to play an extreme position at the end of the piano at first, then more and more close to get to the center of the piano keys. The more students can identify relationships tone short distance, then the better the quality of hearing acuity.

READING READINESS rhythmic
Some activities that can be done to determine the readiness of students in reading rhythmic, al: students may be asked to clap while following a steady tempo beats in a given teacher, students can play a song with rhythmic clapping while teachers and students sang a song known pupil together.

DEVELOPMENT OF MOTOR SKILLS AND FINGER HAND
To detect the development of motor skills and hand fingers child, the teacher can instruct students to imitate the things done by the teacher (play-back). Teachers can play a simple pattern on the black keys and after that students copy it. Teachers can also instruct students to play the piano keys one by one with each finger. Note the movement and reaction carefully!

ADAPT AND LEARNING ABILITY IN
Try to do the exercises introduction to students, when students complete the activity page. with a long time, maybe the teacher will work with the slow learner. If students can concentrate and receive instructions well for approximately 20 minutes, then the student page. mature enough and capable of receiving piano lessons of 30 minutes per week and can be prosecuted for practicing min. 15 minutes per day at home.

ROLE OF PARENTS
The presence and participation of parents during this process is important. The school of music can provide information that can be read by parents and parents can also fill out a questionnaire (form a sort of background information about the students and the environment) are required during the process is running.

When the old man sat quietly during the process, so parents understand that their children are being evaluated readiness in learning. If parents interrupt and try to direct the child's answer, this may indicate the nature of the overprotective parents and children are more concerned with performance than the long-term learning abilities. Things like interrupt should not be done, because the teacher must build a strong and positive relationship with the students. In cases like this, the teacher should be able to tell parents that learning is a process, what methods used by teachers in their teaching and what role do as a parent to support his piano studies at home?

At the end of the introduction lesson, the teacher must also have time to discuss privately with parents to ask some questions like: why do you want your child to learn piano? Why do you think your child is ready to learn the piano? What expectations and your hopes for your child to learn piano? From these questions, the teacher can determine whether a desire to play the piano came from the child or the parents? If the expectations of parents and not according to the teacher's teaching philosophy, it is more prudent to advise other teachers who can fulfill their desires.

Once a decision has been made to start piano lessons, the teacher must inform the importance of the participation of parents in their children piano lessons. Parents do not always have to be present at every meeting, but parents are required to observe the condition of their children at home. Participation and support of parents in early learning is crucial for the development and success of the students' learning process. Communication between teachers and parents is the thing to familiarized. As far as possible parents should communicate the condition of their children at home with a teacher. Teachers can also find out the difficulties experienced by parents in educating their children in practicing at home, so that the teacher can provide advice for parents in becoming a teacher at home for his son. So, here both parents, teachers and students have homework to be completed.

But there are things that should not be done by the parents, where the parents interfere in the learning process is being executed students, let alone instruct different things than what is asked of teachers. If there is dissatisfaction and disagreement in the subject teachers' teaching methods, be wisely and discuss it in private without the presence of the child. Parents and teachers should be a role model or a "role model" for the child and act as a partner in motivating children to continue to grow and love music. Good luck and have a nice teaching!
