Beginner Piano Private Lessons
Class experience
Beginner Level
In this one-on-one class, we'll work on learning basic piano skills using the Alfred book series. One-on-one lessons allow for individualized attention and I can tailor lessons to each child's goals and learning style. We'll also incorporate bits of music history and music theory when we can to help create a well-rounded understanding of music and ultimately a more knowledgeable musician. Before we begin lessons, I'll contact the parent so that we can discuss what learning materials are...
Homework Offered
Students will be expected to practice between lessons. The amount a student practices guides how fast we move through material and how quickly a student learns.

Ideally, I'd love for my students to practice about 15 minutes a day for half hour lessons.0 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
For piano lessons, students should have regular access to a keyboard that is 61 keys (or more) or a piano on a regular basis. Students who have a 44-key keyboard can get started on lessons, but may want to upgrade before we finish the first book.
We will use either Alfred's Basic Piano Library Lesson Book 1a or Alfred's Basic Piano Library Lesson Book Complete Level 1 depending on the student's age and previous experience. After a few months of study, I may suggest students purchase Schaum's Fingerpower as a warmup book.
