Tip: Let students observe other lessons
Thursday, July 27, 2006
Jenny Macmillan has an long list of interesting teaching ideas on her web page, including "Observing other pupils' lessons":
  • Observe another pupil ideally a little older and more advanced after pupils’ own lesson
  • Can be more receptive if something explained to another pupil - when not in hot-seat
  • Motivating for pupil and parent
  • Social benefit - helps prevent feeling of isolation (especially for pianists)
  • Pupils become accustomed to having an audience while playing; also to sitting quietly, colouring and listening, while observing other pupils
