Planting Mental Imagery
Here
is a tip we all can use at some point in our lives.
Watch
others perform on the instrument or in the sport we love.
What
if, on occasion, you showed your student a short video clip of some great
performer, or exceptional young performer, playing piano? Can you imagine the impact this might have
from a motivational standpoint? Taking
him/her to some awesome live performances works equally as well.
This
experience will take their piano playing out of the student/teacher realm into actual,
real life. Suddenly he/she gets a
glimpse of a real time experience and can, with some nurturing, see new
possibilities.
If
this works for you, it will become a cherished activity that could last a
lifetime.
What
you are doing is putting quality role models in front of your child for them to
emulate. Plant those seeds by using
great role models. Sometimes these seeds
are slow to take root, and when they do, you will stand in amazement at the
results.
