With modern technology, a new generation of students is facing dopamine habituation. This manifests in shallow and short-term engagement instead of a deep and sustained path to mastery. Handled expertly, piano lessons can provide the antidote. Let’s explore the biochemical and psychological processes, along with tools that can help this generation rise and renew.
