Hey,
I think that you have heard of this in every first piano lesson: before you start your proper piano practice, you need to warm your fingers up with a few scales and exercises. This is the kind of chosen truth that a vast majority of piano teachers have adopted and try desperately to implement with their pupils. If they can’t force you to do it at home, at least they can always insist that your lessons should start out with scales, broken chords or other finger exercises.
Do you think if this is really necessary? I don’t doubt that you have sometimes felt the need to warm up, if for instance if on a winter’s day you have come in from the cold to sit down at the piano. Your fingers will have felt stiff and slow, but after a couple of scales up and down the keyboard made them fit again. Well I just think that your child is a little bit tense too at that time that cause him to slipped.

RE: All About Choosing and Buying Pianos
Learning a piano is really worthwhile but if you do not already own a piano then you will need to get one. It could be second hand or new. If you are buying second hand and do not know very much about them, then think about paying a piano technician to come with you. It could save a lot of money in the long run as even a beginner needs a reasonable instrument to learn on.
Even deciding to buy a new piano it could still be worth getting advice as they can be very expensive. Ask the dealer if you can get credit to upgrade a starter piano to a better instrument later on. Check on the warranty that they offer, and ask if they will give you a refund if the piano does not sound right acoustically when you get it home. -
RE: All About Choosing Piano Schools And Teachers
Ofcourse there is. My child began play a musical instrument late in life - in 4th grade, at the ripe old age of 9 - when her public school offered classes. She chose violin, and loved it. Her teachers recognized her ability, and supported her decision to become a professional. But when she reached conservatory, what a shock! Most of the other students had begun years younger, in kindergarten or earlier. She had to practice 5 to 7 hours a day to catch up to those 'virtuosos.' Based on that experience I had just realize that I really have to make my children get acquainted with music at a very young age. Actually the site http://www.musicpeeps.com/ really helps my children learned more from their music lessons
