This class is a weekly group piano lesson for your child. Students will be placed in groups of 2-3 based on age and previously completed levels in various piano method books. Students will learn the basic skills necessary to play the piano in a warm and supportive environment. Students will be presented with new material by lecture and demonstration, then have the opportunity to ask questions and play out loud for feedback. We will focus on proper technique and music reading while having fun making music together! This class is recommended for students who have already been taking lessons or piano classes. Students should expect to spend 15-20 minutes playing the piano each day (outside of the lesson time). Please message me to set up a lesson time for your child. I will be happy to answer any questions that you have about the course. Lessons will be learner directed depending on the needs of each individual in the group. Topics covered will include: Posture and hand position, note reading in treble and bass clef staff, different hand positions, note values, dynamics, slurs, staccato, time signatures, and expression markings.
Learning Goals
Students will learn to play with correct technique, learn to read music, and learn to play several songs of increasing difficulty.

Hello! I am so excited to teach piano classes on Outschool! I have been playing piano most of my life and I really love teaching beginners. It is so important to learn the fundamentals like correct hand position, posture, and note reading from the very beginning, and these are some of the things that I really focus on in class. I have taught many students of all ages how to play the piano. I have also taught high school and jr. high school choir and jr. high school band in the San Antonio, Texas area. I have been an accompanist for many groups, including The Children's Chorus of San Antonio, and I served as a member of the Fifth United States Army Band at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. I look forward to working with your child!Reviews
