Description
Class Experience
In this 8 week class, we will learn sitting and hand positions at the piano, as well as basic musical concepts. The piano book I am using is appropriate for ages 7-10 and the student will move at a slow pace at first as they learn the notes and fingering. The theory book will reinforce the thinking skills through reading and writing activities. Music theory tells the "why". I am a very patient and interactive teacher who will make even a shy child feel comfortable. The student will learn...
This class is taught in English.

I have taught children preschool through high school for over 25 years. I have a Bachelor's in Music Education with an emphasis in voice, and have played piano since I was 9 years old. I enjoyed accompanying many of my fellow Music majors for their juries (finals) in college. Knowing the basics gives children the confidence to pursue their favorite instrument and that's an amazing gift. I am patient and encouraging and love to engage with my students in a very positive way. I look forward to teaching your child.
Homework will be assigned in the piano book every week. It will not be so much that will discourage your child, however, to progress your child must practice at least 10-15 minutes, 5 days per week.
