🎹 W E L C O M E 🎹 ⭐️ New to Outschool? Use code MSDIANA20 to save $20 on this class!⭐️ This is a BUNDLE of Ms. Diana's 3 most popular self-paced courses: Easy Beginning Piano Parts 1, 2 & 3. I help learners understand piano and have fun! Kids truly love learning, and I make the entire experience easy and pleasant for parents. 🚨 Reminder: This is a self-paced course. Students are welcome to work through it at the suggested 12-week time frame or faster! 🅼🆈 🅶🅾🅰🅻: My goal is to help students have fun and see music as a game. My experience over the past nineteen years, both in the classroom and studio, has shown me that the best way to motivate learners is to make the learning process feel 𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘺. This has been the key to unlocking potential that my student’s didn’t even know they had! The majority of my students move through their books at a faster rate than the “average” time that the publisher suggests it should take – 50% less time! I believe it is directly connected to the exploratory and creative environment I create in my lessons. It’s very exciting and motivating for a new student to see how quickly they can learn music! 🅷🅾🆆 🅼🆈 🅿🆁🅾🅶🆁🅰🅼 🆆🅾🆁🅺🆂: 1. Begin with the "Easy Beginning Piano Part 1” course. During these 12-weeks, students learn the basic fundamentals that they need to play piano and complete the first part of the “Accelerated Piano Adventures” series together. There are 3 levels to this Level 1 experience which will get students on a great start to their studies alongside one another in an engaging and supportive environment. The program has a total of 32 lessons moving through material at a pace that has been proven effective for over 600 students! 2. Order your book! We work out of the "Accelerated Piano Adventures Lesson 1" book. You can find it at this link: https://amzn.to/43Tgz6m or at most local music stores! ❗️🅸🅼🅿🅾🆁🆃🅰🅽🆃 ❗️ 📹 Full Play-Along Practice videos will be available in the classroom each week for students' review of their songs! No need to re-watch the entire lesson - unless you want to! We will cover the basics: 🎶 Posture 🎶 Hand Position 🎶 Notes on the piano 🎶 Rhythm 🎶 Music Vocabulary 🎶 Reading basic music 𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗔𝗜𝗟𝗦: The course is structured around the concept that children learn music through immersion! Your learner will be given the opportunity to hear me play to model how their pieces go. We will then discuss the songs as they use "visual analysis" in understanding what is happening in the music. This allows the student to build their listening skills (ear training), sight reading (reading music), and creativity (applying musical knowledge to their piece!) 🎶 BONUS 🎶 Play-Along 𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢𝗦 Following each class, there will be a practice video available for the learner to review and play along with the songs done in class. This is to support the learner in their journey for extra guidance throughout the week. 🚨 𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗘 🚨 This course does 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘. Learners are welcome to share their progress with me! This is OPTIONAL. 𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥? ⭐️ The beginner student ⭐️ No previous piano experience ⭐️ Those looking for a review ⭐️ Older beginners ⭐️ To support in-person lessons 🎓 Ms. Diana's Qualifications I have a Masters in Music Education from the University of Miami (2010) and a Bachelors in Piano from The University of Tampa (2007).

Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome to the Dynamic Piano Studio!
Our goal is to ensure that each student who joins our studio feels seen, heard, and loved from the moment they log in.
We know and understand that in order to learn, students need to feel part of something. Here at Dynamic Piano Studio, your learner will feel like they belong!
All teachers are:
- Experienced musicians
- Certified K-12 educators
- Lifelong students of the instrument
- Learner focused with a focus in creating an environment that encourages learning and growth
Ms. Diana has taught this same group piano method for over 19 years at a local elementary, middle, and high schools and for 4 years now online.
Every Spring was a sold-out standing-room-only recital to celebrate the incredible accomplishments of the students I’m so honored to teach. Ms. Diana truly loves and believes in this approach to teaching and learning after seeing the community, support, and performance ability that grows from such an experience.
Here, we teach piano lessons for beginner students or for those who would like to refresh with our classes as well!
Above all else, we like to make learning piano EASY and FUN!
Our goal is not only to develop musicians but also to create a community that fosters respect and encouragement between learners. We are invested in helping to create better individuals who grow up to be caring and responsible adults through the use of music!
"I can honestly say that I believe I work with the most incredible families here. Thank you to those who have joined the "Piano Adventure Family" and fill each and every day with joy on the journey. I don't take a single family for granted and see a purpose for each of us being together in this season as we learn and grow together."
- Ms. Diana
A little about Ms. Diana:
🎹 I still enjoy playing piano now almost 25 years later and have seen the true impact music has on my life and others.
👩🏫 I have previously taught elementary educators at Florida International University how to incorporate music into the elementary classroom and had a BLAST!
🌊 I LOVE the ocean and spent a summer in high school living on a boat for 21 days!
🥋 Fun fact: I have my red belt in Kung Fu!
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out!
Let's journey through music together.
