How to hear your child say, "I love to practice!"

Picture
Start by praising your child.  Every child wants to feel like he is doing something that is appreciated by someone else.  Instead of criticizing about how long the child hasn't practiced or how he hasn't played a song very well, look for something to compliment! It may be praise for sitting up tall at the piano.  All children of any age love praise.  When you hear a positive melody, let them know.  When you think that they have mastered a song with any degree of finesse, tell them.  Give them the message that you are glad that they are trying.  Give them the message that they are doing a great job.  Praise them whenever you hear a piece that actually sounds the way that it should.

Lorgeland Music and Arts has been providing high quality instruction to the children, teens, and adults of San Diego's East County (Lakeside, Alpine, La Mesa, El Cajon) for two decades.  Prior to moving to Lakeside, both John and Becky had been teaching professionaly since 1978.   Their sons, Patrick and Gregory have added their teaching talents to the home studio.  We offer a wide variety of classes and private lessons for students of every level and ambition.  Beginners of all ages are welcome, as are more experienced musicians.  We offer an enthusiastic environment to develop the individuality and self confidence in each student.  At every level, we provide experienced professional teachers and quality music and art education in a pleasant environment. Over the years, we’ve developed a rich and always evolving curriculum of classes and lessons for aspiring musicians, music lovers, and artisans of all ages.

Testimonials

"We are relatively new to the realm of music lessons and Becky Lorge came highly recommended by several acquaintances. We have a 7 year old, 9 year old and myself (age witheld :)) taking piano lessons each week. We've been playing for almost a year and we've learned so much and are having such fun. The Lorge household is filled with music, creativity and a love for children; our kids never want to leave when our time is up. The Lorge's are gifted and amazing and we enthusiastically recommend them for music lessons."                                                                                                          V.

"Mrs. Lorge is an excellent teacher. She is so good at explaining everything to the younger kids as well as the older ones. She has so much patience and she always pushes me to do more. She keeps things new and fun, and i never have a bad day over there:) I recommend her over anyone to anybody who wants to learn music"

My children have been taking lessons from Becky for nearly two years. She has changed the way my children feel about music lessons.  She makes it exciting and rewarding, and my kids now look forward to their lessons.  Since she teaches so many kids from Blossom Valley Elementary, she knows how to encourage the kids with just the right amount of "competition" among friends.  My kids also look forward to the holidays when they can record their own holiday songs, and they love the summer camps.

Becky Lorge's depth of experience and knowledge in teaching piano allows her to teach the most novice to those who are seasoned.  She taught my children for several years (ages 6 and 8 when they started) and even me (their mom) and we always enjoyed our lessons. She is patient and kind and highly capable.  Our daughter also took art lessons with Becky and LOVED it; her projects were always creative and fun.   I would highly recommend Becky!                                                                                          anonymous

Becky is an amazing teacher.  She understands that every student is different and works with their personality.  My daughters look forward to their lesson day every week, they just LOVE it.  They both take piano and one takes voice.  The oldest took guitar camp with Patrick and had so much fun with him too!  Thank you Lorges for enriching our children's lives with music!                                                                                    Sandi V.

We really missed you when we moved. They boys both loved their lessons with you and you proved to be irreplaceable. There are a lot of piano teachers out there, but you are very special.                                                                                                     anonymous
