One of the best things you can do for your child’s piano experience, especially for the young beginner, is to take notes in lessons. I believe strongly in this for many reasons:
1. What needs to be worked on in every piece changes almost every week. There is always something slightly new.
2. Practice at home needs to follow the same structure as the lesson and taking notes can make that a lot easier and worthwhile.
3. Your child is not going to remember every new item taught to him/her in lesson, nor will he remember the order of practice.
4. Many parents like to take notes to remind themselves that there WAS a lesson that week! I keep track, but you might like to as well.
5. When on vacation or during the summer hiatus from lessons, you might like something to reference to make sure that your child keeps making progress.
6. If you are not the parent that practices with your child, but you are bringing him/her to lessons, you need to provide a clear structure for your spouse for practicing at home.
