At the beginning of every new year, piano teachers welcome students they have never met before.
The first lesson with a student is less about the music and more about getting to know one another. If all goes well, you and your student will learn music together for 10 or more years; it is important that you get off on the right foot.
In today’s post, we are sharing Getting To Know You Cards with creative questions that will break the ice during a first piano lesson.
In no time at all, you will be best buds. You won’t be left wondering if that student who stayed quiet for 30 minutes actually enjoyed her first lesson.
Wow Your Students On Day 1
Today’s Getting To Know You Cards are available at the bottom of the post, but first…
When a new student comes for a lesson, you want to leave nothing to chance! That student must leave with a smile a mile wide.
You can impress piano students with your personality and with the materials you use.
And if you truly want to WOW new students, you can show off your cool book collection from Andrea And Trevor Dow’s Very Useful Piano Library.
