How To Stop Piano Teacher Burnout

By Caroline Le


Since music all about bring the life within into the outside, the mind and attitude of a piano teacher plays a major role in how this can happen, hence he must always keep himself motivated at all time. Good interactions, maybe with another fellow teacher may be the magic that non motivated teachers need to get out of the rut is just someone to call out the good side of him. A good music is a solution to many worries of the hearts; do engage it to help you out of the situation. How will you get this motivation from music, well it depends on what you listen to, not your students playing on the keyboard alone, that is for the student not for you, create what your mind must hear to get it in the right gear, your favorite music will do it.

Learning new things apart from motivation is a reason why you must listen new work of music and masterpieces, you cannot know it all, allow other peoples' works to help you get back on the line as your learn new things. Just like in any other professions and careers burnout do come in the course of working as a piano teacher even from other reasons we have not mentioned here. Student's attitude can cause serious burnout for teachers, this is another point I must mention here. When they fail to grasp what the teacher is teaching even after several attempts the teacher can have a breakdown. Setting a standard within which you are to work is a must if you will have to overcome a problem like this, students tends to do whatever they like when they are given the opportunity prevent this at all cost. We must not be carries away with the students' behavior at the beginning as to determine whether they are talented or not.

Students do learn quickly when they are allowed to learn in an atmosphere where they are free to express themselves and where the teacher understands them well. Many teachers who adhere to a general rule, or a method they have et out themselves without regards for the students' attitude and personal preference will not get good results from the students. You must ensure that the student bring out the best in the course of the lesson by setting the right rule from the beginning which must be customized around the students preferences as much as possible. It is their class so it must suit their mind but not against the norms.

As a piano teacher, you can only keep your skill and knowledge intact by learning more, in no time your students will get better than you once they master the skill, you have to improve on your knowledge by all means.

Do not settle for an average result or performances strive to be and give the best. The learning process indeed can be a tough one which is necessary for a good pianist in the learning period, but it will eventually yield a life of joy, fulfillment and fun which will rub on others. The standards you set will help students to have respect for you and your teaching, it will help them to concentrate and settle for your class too.

Spell out the terms of the standards to every stakeholder before you get their commitment to the lesson. Policies like fees, payment schedules and thing like missed lessons are part of the standards that must be set beforehand, use mediums like adverts to communicate this to your prospective students. Do not leave your students in the dark as per what they can get from you, including their parents.
