Class Experience

This piano class is an extension of Advanced Piano 3 which continues our journey into the Alfred Adult Level 2 Piano book. New concepts such as chord inversions will be explored. We will be playing a diverse variety of musical styles that will expand our musical horizons. These pieces are difficult and require regular practice to keep up with the class schedule.

Enrolled learners should have passed the following classes with me:
-Introduction to Piano Fundamentals
-Piano Fundamentals 2
-Piano Fundamentals 3
- Intermediate Piano Course 1
- Intermediate Piano Course 2
- Intermediate Piano Course 3
- Intermediate Piano Course 4
-Advanced Piano 1
-Advanced Piano 2
-Advanced Piano 3

Optional classes to take before this course are the Music Theory Super Course for Piano, and the Blues, Classical, and Rock piano style studies. If learners have not passed the above classes and have studied with other teachers then please send me a message so we can try to assess if this is the appropriate class for your learner. 

This is our weekly breakdown:
Week 1- 1st inversion triads and "Night Song" week 1
Week 2- "Night Song" week 2
Week 3- 2nd inversion triads and "Olympic Procession"
Week 4- All inversions and "Aloha Oe"
Week 5- "Black Forest Polka"
Week 6- 2 part writing and "Pomp and Circumstance"
Week 7- "Dark Eyes"
Week 8- Performance and review

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, I teach guitar, piano, and bass classes for the ages of 6 and up. I also specialize in music theory and jazz harmony. 

I began teaching music in 2002 and it has been my primary profession ever since. 

I believe in teaching the fundamentals. Reading notation is a must. Deciphering chords, understanding harmony. The facts of music take priority in my lessons. I believe that everyone has limitless potential to be whatever kind of musician they would like to be. 

Note to parents:
Here is my recommended learning path for my piano students:

1. Introduction to Piano Fundamentals- for the pure beginner. Young learners will find this class simple to grasp and loads of fun. This class is a great way to establish good habits from day one.

2. Piano Fundamentals 2- This is a class where we focus on reading music notation. Any learner with a bit of piano experience who is unsure of their reading can start here. Reading music is essential in your piano journey and learners who cannot do this well will struggle in these courses. This class is highly recommended.

3. Piano Fundamentals 3- Where we learn to master the art of practice and play through the rest of the beginner method book

4. Intermediate Piano Course 1- We jump to the big leagues and master basic chords in C and G position. We move quickly and play more advanced pieces. Quality practice is essential for success in this class.

5. Intermediate Piano Course 2- Hanon exercises, an expanded rhythmic vocabulary, and more sophisticated piano pieces are covered in this course.

6. Intermediate Piano Course 3- Scales, technique, and longer pieces in different keys.

7. Intermediate Piano Course 4- We will learn about minor scales and get to the end of the Alfred Adult All-In-One Course book. 

8. Advanced Piano 1- We make the jump into the Alfred Adult Level 2 book.

9. Advanced Piano 2- We continue through the Level 2 book.

10. Advanced Piano 3- We cover the keys of E minor, D Major, and the chromatic scale

11. Advanced Piano 4- Chord inversions are covered as well as 2 part writing

12. Recital Ready- This is an ongoing class where we cover famous piano literature in a group setting. This is the highest level group class that I teach and it is recommended that learners cover all previous levels before enrolling. 🎹 

I also have a new class called "The Piano Player's Toolkit" that covers various topics related to piano playing and music theory.  The amount of practice time is less than in the academic classes, and this is more of a casual weekly learning experience. Here is the link to the class:

I’m a father and a husband and I love what I do! I was the primary bassist for The Daytime Emmy Awards show from 2016 to 2019.
