Homework
2-4 hours per week. Heidi requests that students put aside five 30 minute practice times throughout the week. Ideally, students would track these times in a notebook for weekly review.Assessment
Students will be assessed based on their progression, but ultimately, the progress is up to the student: if they are dedicated to practice, they will progress!Class Experience
In this engaging and laid back ongoing piano lesson, Heidi will teach students how to read music and play piano with excellent comprehension and skill. Heidi focuses on the details from the very beginning, so that dedicated students will develop their independent learning styles quickly. A typical lesson begins with reviewing the assigned music from the previous week before progressing into new songs. Then, Heidi and the student will spend some time together in the theory book. Once students complete the required books, Heidi will encourage continuing in the Piano Adventures series, but will be open to adding books/sheet music according to the request of the student and the level of the piece. Heidi also encourages dedicated students to purchase a scale book between 6 months to a year into their lessons.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to read music, and they will learn how to play the piano with proper posture, hand and finger positions, and good artistic technique.
