Group Piano Lessons: Blues Improvisation Level-Up (Ages 8-12)
Class experience
Growing up, I would have given anything for blues piano lessons. I am grateful for the years of traditional piano instruction I personally received, but would have given anything to jam like the greats. Receiving my first boogie piano instruction book was one of the great turning points in my life. In this course, I will pass on my love for piano blues improvisation. This is a repeating course. Students are welcome (and encouraged) to take this course as often as they would like. Students...
The learning goals will be directed by the specific needs and skills demonstrated by each individual learner.
I'm a certified music teacher with over a decade of experience teaching music in the public schools. My Bachelor's Degree (from SUNY Fredonia) is in music education, and my Master's Degree (from Loyola University Maryland) specializes in Kodály Music Education. My mom was a piano teacher and my dad was a public school music teacher, so in one sense you could say I've always grown up around music and the piano. I had traditional piano lessons growing up and in college. However, around Middle School I discovered that my real love for piano is Boogie Woogie music, the blues, and improvisation. I would have given anything at the time for improvisation instruction; that's one of the reasons why I'm so passionate about passing on my love of piano improvisation with young students today!
