Class Experience

Beginner - Advanced Level
Join Charlie P in interactive 1:1 piano / keyboard weekly lessons where students will master performance, technique and theory! Enjoy watching your students confidence grow after every class! Free Video tutorials provided after lessons to recap work covered in class.


C O U R S E  O U T L I N E : 

Students will learn…
  👉 How to play piano by ear, copying musical patterns via call and response finger number patterns.
  👉 How to follow piano music, reading note names and other relevant music theory.
  👉 How to arrange and put your individual musical twist on any songs learned, whether it be classical pieces or specifically requested song choices.
  👉 How to develop the art of live performance and recording from a teacher who actively gigs worldwide! 


C L A S S   B R E A K D O W N : 

A typical class includes…
  👉 Getting to know a students musical taste and ambitions for their piano career.
  👉 Interactive finger warm up drills, with fun call and respond games, tailored to develop technique
  👉 A starter piece that develops all fingers in the right hand, and then left hand
  👉 Coordination (playing in both hands) exercises, a combination of following music and percussive exercises
  👉 A personalised weekly practice routine (you can be more efficient with 5-10 minute practice sessions with my strategies!!)



W E E K L Y   C O N C E P T S :

A typical beginner student would follow this format in our classes

  👉Week 1: Learn the much loved "catchy song" (coined by current students!) in the right hand, developing piano geography of CDEFG
  👉Week 2: Introduce our Left Hand and initiate the concept of coordination (playing in both hands)
  👉Week 3: Begin a new piece whilst developing our catchy song with additional coordination sections 
  👉Week 4: Master the art of live performance by introducing a metronome/backing track (feel like you're playing a gig!)

From their we will tail off into a more specific and personalised route of student development, whether it be following classical pieces and work towards grades, or take the contemporary pop route, learning songs in any genre (many students like to look into both paths!)

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
As a musician, I love learning and performing all genres of music!  From classic dance tracks, to heavy metal numbers. From the sporadicalness of blues and funk improvisation, to the calmness and serenity of classical pieces. Being able to play and teach multiple instruments really makes for diversity and opportunity as an active musician!

When I am not teaching, I perform in multiple bands and compose and release solo music. One of my favourite aspects of music is the aspect of composition; taking your own musical influences and toying around with them to create something unique is a thrilling experience!

Many of my current and former students have taken graded exams (1-8) and have a 100% pass rate since 2014. Some are now studying music at college and University
