Class Experience

This class is perfect for those who are wanting to learn how to play the piano.

In this course we will go over where the notes are on the keyboard; Hand Placement on the keys; how to play simple chords and chord progressions; the C major, G Major, D Major Scale, A Major and E Major Scales; Students will be able to choose a song that like, to learn to play.  Depending on how quickly students learn their first song, we will move on to a second song that they may want to learn.

For this class, it will be helpful if a student has a piano or keyboard, as well as a camera/phone that is
angled towards the piano keys, so that I am able to see the students fingers playing on the piano/keyboard.
