We asked Lessonface Teachers of the Year about their process and goals for 2025. Here are the responses of Jerod Harris, our gospel piano teacher of the year for 2024.
Music usually consists of notes and rhythms, and we study both aspects in piano lessons. For many people, the rhythm is harder to learn than the notes. That’s why we put extra effort into rhythm practice. Some people think the rhythm is more important than the notes! I know a musician who said he’d rather play a wrong note than miss a beat. When the rhythm is accurate, the song holds together in a satisfying manner.
In order to answer the question of “How much practice is enough?” we've broken it down into three categories of musicians: professionals, aspiring pros, and casual musicians/beginners.
