Beginner - Intermediate Level
In my beginner piano class using the Piano Adventures series, students will learn foundational piano skills, including proper hand positioning, reading music, basic rhythm, and expressive playing. We’ll cover topics such as note recognition, simple melodies, chords, and gradually build up to playing beginner-level pieces. Each lesson will be structured around warm-up exercises, learning new concepts, and practicing songs, with time for both instruction and hands-on playing. My teaching approach is interactive and supportive—I aim to make lessons fun and engaging! I encourage plenty of student interaction, where they’ll have the chance to ask questions, play their pieces, and receive feedback. We may also use occasional visual aids like slides or short video clips to illustrate musical concepts, but the primary focus is hands-on learning at the piano. My goal is to foster a positive environment where students feel motivated, confident, and excited to progress in their piano journey.
Learning Goals
Develop Basic Keyboard Skills: Students will learn foundational skills such as correct hand positioning, finger numbers, and keyboard awareness to help them navigate the piano with ease.Read Simple Music Notation: Students will understand basic music notation, including recognizing notes on the staff, understanding rhythm values, and identifying symbols for dynamics and articulation.
