Grandparents Teaching Their Young Grandchildren to Play the Piano Some of the most heartwarming notes I receive are from grandmothers, and even great-grandmothers, teaching their young grandchildren to play the piano using our method. Maybe it’s because I have my own special memories of summers at my Nana’s house and the great fun we had playing her organ and singing classic songs and hymns. Or maybe there’s just something extra special about passing on a lifelong love of music to grandchildren.

Sure, many grandparents purchase Piano for Preschoolers as a birthday or holiday gift and let their sons or daughters do the actual teaching. It’s exciting for the kids to perform for grandma and grandpa when they visit and gratifying for mom and dad to see the pride in their child’s accomplishment.

But more and more, I’m hearing from grandparents doing the teaching and enjoying every minute of it. Sometimes the piano is at grandma’s house so the lessons are taught when the kids come to visit. Or grandma teaches short lessons when she goes to their house and they all look forward to that part of their time together.

I’ve even heard from grandparents living far away from their grandchildren who started the lessons while the kids were visiting during the summer. They sent the materials home with the kids to continue learning and received video performances of their progress.

Regardless of the individual circumstances or how involved a grandparent gets in the actual lessons, both grandparent and grandchild can reap rewards from early music education. It may have been over three decades ago, but I still remember sitting next to Nana at the organ and belting out Moon River and My Darling Clementine. It’s gratifying to know that Piano for Preschoolers is helping grandparents and grandchildren create their own special memories today. 0 comments
