Beginning Piano Lessons is a class offered for any students that are interested in learning piano. I love making piano lessons fun! - Students will meet once a week for 30 minutes. - All lessons are One to One. - This class is for a beginner to advanced level student. There is no pre-requisite knowledge. - FULL SIZE (88-key piano) or full size (88-key keyboard) is REQUIRED. If a student has a keyboard it needs to have weighted keys and touch sensitivity. *Please be able to put the camera on the side of the keyboard/piano to capture the hands/arms/back position* I love to reach learners where they are at! Possible instructional needs may be: -Hand/arm/body position -Rhythm -Notation reading -Notation identification -Musicality -Musicianship skills -Piano Technic Our first lesson will go over expectations, answer learner questions, assess where the student currently is, create plan of action, and assign repertoire. Each lesson will go at the student’s pace. Students will work on 2-5 (or more) pieces each week.
