Make a Plan and Take Action!

Make a Plan and Take Action!

A good instructor actively and consistently finds new ways to nurture students’ genuine interests.

Constantly probing for what piques a student’s interest allows both teacher and pupil to learn together. It is important to encourage students to pursue what particularly intrigues them.

The ability to answer the question, “Why am I learning this?” is essential because it fosters further curiosity. Some say that if you are unable to explain something in simple terms, you don’t know it well enough. Boiling things down to their fundamental elements and working up from there is one of the best approaches to learning just about anything.

Play slower and cleaner more often, even if you can play fast. The sooner you slow down, the sooner you will fix mistakes. Remember that mistakes are important to learn from. Practice makes you better, as there is no such thing as perfect.

Record your progress! A phone or tablet is useful, but nothing beats pencil to paper—and it doesn’t require a charger. Log the time you spend practicing and the tempo you are able to maintain with a clean and steady rhythm.

Noodle around, train your ears, experiment, and discover sounds that resonate with your personality. Work hard, have fun, and never be ashamed to share your progress!

San Antonio Music Academy is very well organized. My daughter's piano teacher is wonderful! She's been taking lessons for 5 months and looks forward to each lesson. I really enjoy the recitals at the LOL Comedy Club.

My daughter has been registered here since she was 7. Each instructor she’s had has been very friendly and great to work with. Currently she has lessons with Ms Maria and we are so grateful for her and the entire SAMA staff. I can’t recommend enough.

San Antonio Music Academy is awesome, my son loves the guitar lessons and is super excited to attend every week! He started with zero experience and progressed surprisingly fast. Randy is an amazingly talented guitarist/teacher. He is very patient, yet knows how to push students to the next level. Highly recommend all the instructors, the staff is great!
