Solution to Piano Teacher Burnout

By Lowell Hendler


A piano teacher must be well motivated, knowledgeable and competent as this will affect his relationship with students and with his job every time. Anything to bring out the good in the teacher will do, since you know yourself try to engage in whatever will help you to shake of every memory of what cannot help you in your job. Do you need to listen to your favorite music to get your mind motivated and prepared for your job? Even though you teach music you must listen to it, and often too, sometimes we only listen to the music played by our students as they learn o the piano, maybe for week long, this will not give us the experience we desire and definitely will not help.

Listening to masterworks of music performance on a consistent basis is a must for a piano teacher. You will get inspired by the music of others and learn new things which you can add to what you will have to give your students. Apart from all what we have said above, we still have some other reasons why a piano teacher can have burnout in there career. One of the major point we have to mentioned here anyway is that of the student that we teacher, more often than not they cause piano teachers serious headache because they remain non teachable despite all efforts to help them learn. You should expect a situation like this and take steps to counter it, simply set a standard which you must make your students-to-be to be aware of and adhere to do not hesitate to do away with any student that contravene this. We must not be carries away with the students' behavior at the beginning as to determine whether they are talented or not.

Discovering and adhering to a rule of learning that will help the student to learn effectively is a must as students have various factors that help them to learn and understand things easily. Many teachers thinks that this is a waste of time, or simply refuse to find about enough information about the students and at the end find s out that students are not enjoying their lessons. To create the right atmosphere for you class, get the student alone by finding out how they want the class to be and how they want you to take them in the best way they can learn, guide them and put that into consideration in your class planning.

It is what you have in you that you can give to your students, knowledge in music is ever dynamic and increasing daily, keep yourself abreast of the happenings in the field and incorporate your new knowledge n your lesson curriculum, encourage your students to have passion for the art and live it.

If you aim for the best, your students will see it in you and they will imbibe that attitude. The learning process indeed can be a tough one which is necessary for a good pianist in the learning period, but it will eventually yield a life of joy, fulfillment and fun which will rub on others. Checkmating the attitude of young people is very important, even as it is with elderly people, ensuring the right standards are therefore necessary.

to make your students cooperate with you do the job of first teaching them your class standards and what you would expect from them. Policies like fees, payment schedules and thing like missed lessons are part of the standards that must be set beforehand, use mediums like adverts to communicate this to your prospective students. To cap it all, both students and parents must have a good understanding of what they are to get from you.
