Abstract

Children's piano music lessons are well-liked in learning because they make use of children's minds, which are better able to acquire new information quickly. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the factors that influence children's interest in learning the piano, taking into account their family environment, the teaching methods and approaches used by their teachers, and their own motivations. It takes time, consideration, and a good outlook to encourage kids to study the piano. The correct time, a musical environment, and tutors can all help make learning the piano enjoyable. Children can experience the rhythm and emotion of music via their bodies when they are exposed to percussion instruments and activities. It aims to develop children's musical abilities, enhance instructors' teaching strategies, foster a positive musical environment for children, and encourage children to understand the concepts of piano music, so promoting children's intellectual and emotional learning.
