A friend of mine ring me up this morning, she is looking for a reasonable used upright piano. Finally after months her son been practicing his piano lesson on a digital piano. Beside her son's piano teacher has been telling her since the first day of class to get a piano for her son before she'll stop teaching him. Since the digital piano is place in a room, my friend decided to put the piano to the same location but the problem is, the room is actually her son's bedroom, beside a bed and wardrobe it have a TV set, a desktop personal computer and study table...imagine this?
So as the title say, Is bedroom a good place to put your piano been brought up. Is it necessary to have a separate practice room? Sometimes after hearing your child hit bad key after bad key, you might be tempted to put it on the beach, but sand isn't really good for the hammers and strings.
Some people might think they prefer to have the piano in another room from the normal family activity. That could mean a spare bedroom. But let's think this through. When a child is sent to the spare bedroom, they feel like they are being banished to North Pole. They may feel very lonely, and there's no one around to hear what their latest pieces are. What fun to have your parents exclaim with excitement and joy on how you have progressed.
Today, most people tend to separate immediately upon entering the house, off to watch TV or play video games, work on the computer, or go to their individual rooms to listen to music. There's very little family interaction.
When the piano is in the main room of the house, such as a living room or family room, there might be sacrifices to be made, especially in a small house or large family. The person that is practicing needs some quiet, so maybe other family members can do homework or read. If a child feels like he or she is disrupting a parent's desire for the news or a football game, they might decide they don't "like" the piano anymore.
What happens when grandma and grandpa come over and want to hear the latest accomplishment? Is everyone going to trek to the bedroom together to hear the song? How long will they stay there if it's an uncomfortable room?
If the piano is in a main room, the child is more likely to say, "do you want to hear what I can do?" Maybe they will continue to play more than one piece. I remember during my childhood time, a friend of mine, her piano was in the living room. Of course, life was very different then, there weren't on the go so much, and parents didn't think twice about adjusting their schedule to fit their children activities. Either one of her parents would always ask her to play for her aunts and uncles, friends and neighbors. Sometimes on festive holidays, they sang around the piano, and she was the star of the day. The bad notes were ignored, and there was plenty of bonding and laughter.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, do what's right for your family and the way you live, but you won't be sorry if you make the effort to bring the piano into the family area. Watching your offspring grow to delight in making music is well worth the price.
