When learning to play the piano in a group, students get comfortable playing in front of other people (in addition to their teacher). Doing so helps them to build self-confidence and makes it easier to transition into playing in front of an audience outside of the group. When learning a new skill one-on-one, students often feel nervous which can hinder their learning process. The group dynamic helps to alleviate that stress. By having the teachers’ focus divided amongst students, it creates a more relaxed environment with less direct pressure. Learning in a group creates the opportunity for students to meet new friends who share a common interest. Lastly, in a group lesson, the teacher can facilitate team activities that require all participants to work together. These can include each group member playing a piece of one song, playing games, critiquing each other, and more. As a result, the group members reinforce and support each other’s learning.
