Piano lessons really do reach beyond just learning how to play music! There are so many valuable life-lessons and skills that we learn along the way as a result of the work that we do. For example, in this game by Nicola Cantan with Colourful Keys, one of my students and I this week learned about developing a "Grit-and-Growth" mindset where it's ok to make mistakes and we don't have to be too hard on ourselves when something goes wrong. Thing go wrong all of the time in piano and in life, and it's all about improving our recovery time and using mistakes as positive learning opportunities:)
