In learning music, there are various piano teaching methods music teachers use to help their students excel.
These are some other Piano teaching methods being used in music schools in Singapore:


Suzuki Method
Developed by a Japanese violinist, Shin’ichi Suzuki, this method of teaching is based on the realisation that children learn their mother tongue with ease Suzuki recreates the ‘ideal’ environment for learning music with what a person has for learning their native language, by including love, praise, rote training and repetition, and a timetable lead by the student’s developmental readiness for learning a particular technique. This teaching method exposes students to performance opportunities in a positive way, such that performing becomes a joy rather than a dreaded job.


Orff Schulwerk
The basis of this “approach to music” is that students have innate abilities to engage in rudimentary forms of music using basic rhythms and melodies. It is developed by Carl Orff, a prominent German composer, to help foster students’ self-discovery of their bodies as a percussive instrument, to encourage improvisation, and to discourage adult pressures and rote learning.


Yamaha Music
Interestingly, the Yamaha method began with Genichi Kawakami, a businessman who expanded his family-owned piano company to an international conglomerate, making products ranging from motorcycles to musical instruments. He developed the Electone Organ, and oversaw the establishment of the Yamaha Music Foundation in 1966. The objective of this method is to cultivate students’ musical ability within an environment that inspires a love for music. Thus, the use of solfège, participation in music appreciation activities, singing, and movement to music, rhythm and keyboard ensembles.

At Bloom School of Music & Arts, our piano lessons are taught using the Alfred Premier Piano Method. Alfred Music features a variety of other books, all correlated and presented in 4 progressive levels. Its baroque, romantic and classical piano pieces are arranged without too much fanfare, making it ideal for serious, self-motivated students to learn. The Alfred Method for children uses coloured pictures, graphics, and multimedia to help with the learning process.

The four courses of Alfred’s Basic Piano Library—Prep, Basic, All-In-One, Complete—are all based on the same fundamentals. Students learning by this method are often good at:

* correct playing habits
* Intervallic Reading, which means recognizing the intervals between notes
* having a solid foundation in music theory
* multi-key reading
* chord progression

By understanding how each music teaching method works, we can decide how the strengths and weaknesses of the method score against our preferences, and the way we learn.

I will end this post with this quote by Rita Dunn: If the child is not learning the way you are teaching, then you must teach in the way the child learns.

I always dreamed of playing the piano, I still have small children and I don't know if I should realize my dream in them?
but I know it's great for a baby's growth

Hi Monica,

Perhaps you can start with baby music programmes, such as Musikgarten. Musikgarten is backed by Early Childhood research, and offers music programmes suitable for babies in-utero to five years old. Over time, as your child expresses more and more interest in music, you can send them for individual music classes, and then you'll have a Little Musician in the house!



Bloom School of Music & Arts is one of the few schools offering Musikgarten. You can consider going for a trial class first!

You can realize that dream yourself, or better still learn together with your kids. The pedagogy for adults have improved significantly in recent years and many younger professionally trained teachers are more than willing to teach adults with age appropriate methods and materials.

I started when I was 17 and got my ABRSM Diplomas in my 30s, age is not a barrier.
