 We have a new trip in store for us through Time And Relative
Dimensions In Space (TARDIS). This time we'll have a chat with Domenico Scarlatti in 1752
Madrid, Spain. So, let's step into the old English phone booth that isn't really a phone
booth and see if we can sweet talk the TARDIS into getting us there!
No, we don't mean speaking softly! We're talking about the "Young Students"
forum of the
The Piano Education Page Forums. This is a place for young piano students or students-to-be to
talk about lessons, piano, teachers or any other piano-related subject with other students
from all over the world. The Forums is not a live chat room, but it is a place you
can leave messages and respond to messages from other piano students. You can do LOT more
than that as well. Customize your own screen on the Board, send e-mails to other Board
members, do polls, keep your own personalized notepad and much more. Read the Forums any time, but you'll have register
if you want to post your own messages. Registration only takes a minute and the info is
not used for any purpose other than the operation of the Board. Use of the Board
is totally free. Tell your parents you're are signing up (there's a special forum
for them, too), then go for it! Start talking with other piano students and
teachers all over the
world! You can also leave questions to be answered by all the piano teachers
who visit the Board, so go for it!
Tip of the Month - Time for practice? Make it count!
Have you noticed lately just how much practise your
teacher is setting? And have you also noticed that by the time you practise
everything you need to THIS week, the pieces you have learned a month or two
ago are practically forgotten? What about scales and arpeggios and all that
other technical work—when are you supposed to practise that? Here’s a
schedule you can follow. It’s based on a thirty minute practise session.
Try it this month and see how you go!
Warm up (2minutes)
Technical Work: scales, arpeggios, sight reading (5 minutes)
Learn: this section is for your very latest pieces you’re working on (10
minutes)
Polish: for the pieces you need to get up to performance standard (8
minutes)
Review: pieces you already know and play well. (5 minutes)
Remember, it’s not the AMOUNT of time you practise, it’s what you DO with
the time! Use the time suggestions as a guide only.
 These
are places with neat pictures and sounds or they might be just plain weird! Check it out!
Got a report to write on the piano? Want to learn a little more about it? Need to find
out who Charles Tomlinson Griffes (or almost any other composer) was? We have a whole
shelf full of free articles that should help:

Ask The Teacher
 Do you have a question about the piano,
piano lessons, or music generally? You can get it answered here by a real live piano
teacher! We'll pick some of the best questions and provide the answers here. We'll even
