Creating Illumination in a Performing Room
When playing music at home it can be very easy to be done for the day and to feel a little bit of boredom around other distractions and fun things to do, but if you can keep those things from distracting you, it can be very helpful. Having one room in your home set aside just for music can help immensely. It can be very helpful if this room has closed doors and if this room is simply shut off from the rest of the house. Without any random interruptions or distractions, students can learn a lot more when it comes to their music and much more can be completed in one day rather than if your instrument was with you in front of the television.
When decorating a music room, it is crucial to stick with the comfort level of the musician who will be using the room. Lots of bright colors, floral patterns, and comfortable chairs can alter the mood of the room, making someone want to lay down for a nap rather than practice their instrument. Blacks, grays, and whites are all helpful and can still look very polished and stylish within a home. Again, it all depends on the comfort level of the musician and what they are into.
Many music teachers who teach out of their own home follow these same simple rules when it comes to others playing in their home. Making the room too personal can make it uncomfortable for others to sit in while making it too dry can be boring as well. The best work of art to fill a music room is one black grand piano. The perfect vision of a music room is white walls, delicate hardwood floor and one black grand piano and nothing else.
Playing music is a gift and anyone who can play music very well should be given whatever they need to keep playing music as well as they do. Whether you or your child is a musician or if you are a music teacher yourself, then you recognize the importance of music and all that it does. By setting aside a room in your home just for music you are helping your musician more than you can imagine.
