✨Welcome to Beginning Piano Adventures: Group Piano Lessons for Beginners (Part 1)!✨ ❓Is your student interested in learning the piano but not sure where to start? Then, come join me for this engaging 6-week group course where we will explore the fundamentals of piano playing in a fun and approachable format! Using the popular Piano Adventures curriculum, students will be introduced to basic piano technique, keyboard geography and rhythms, as well as exploring musical concepts such as pitch, dynamics and tempo. ------------------------------------- B E N E F I T S O F G R O U P I N S T R U C T I O N 🎹 Musical interactions with peers 🎹 Collaborative learning 🎹Creative opportunities 🎹 Fun!

Students will become well-rounded musicians who develop general musicianship, including listening, composing and improvisation skills. ------------------------------------- 🎵 P L E A S E N O T E… Students will need a keyboard or piano with a bench or suitable chair. Please have the camera set up to show both the learner and the keys. While this class is taught in a group format, each student will have the opportunity to ask questions and demonstrate their understanding of the information presented. My goal is for each student to come away from this class feeling confident in what they have learned, and excited to learn more about the piano. Please feel free to message me with any questions. I am so excited to help your learner get started on their musical journey!
