**First class EVER on Outschool? Use code: HayleyTraver20 at checkout for $20 off your first class!** Ready to become a piano prodigy in just 4 weeks? Join this Flex course designed especially for beginners with no prior piano experience. Enjoy engaging videos, with special guest appearances by my dog Echo, will make learning piano fun and easy. I pride myself on my engaging and funny teaching style, and my high retention rate speaks for itself! Each week, learners will submit a video of their progress, and I will provide personalized feedback and answer any questions. We'll also have a weekly spotlight on a famous composer from the past and a modern-day composer, to help learners develop a deeper appreciation of classical music. Week One will start with the basics, as we learn the "map" of the piano, proper hand shape, and finger numbers. In Week Two, we'll progress to finger names and patterns to develop fine motor skills and confidence. Week Three will introduce rhythmic notation, and we'll even explore the inside of a grand piano! In Week Four, we'll wrap up with Beethoven's "Ode To Joy" and prepare learners for the next step in their piano journey. No need to be intimidated - I'm here to help and make sure you have fun every step of the way! #creative

We'll explore the musical ABCs and discover how they match up with the piano keys. Find the perfect hand positions to start playing smoothly. Plus, we'll dip our toes into reading notes with easy melodies. Let's begin your musical journey!
