Come learn basic concepts of how to sit at the keyboard, fingering, black and white keys, note reading, music theory terms and symbols, types of notes and their values, intervals and beginning chords, and how to play by ear!

This is an ongoing Private Piano class for those ages 9-13 yrs seeking individual piano lessons. We will meet once a week at your selected day and time.

NOTE: Please book your time at least 24 hours in advance of the day and time of your requested lesson so I can receive your booking via email and have materials prepared for your introductory lesson. If you book the day of the lesson, we will start the following week. 

Make-Up Policy: Parents MUST give AT LEAST 48 hours notice if a learner will be absent in order to request a make-up date. Make-ups are granted as a courtesy but NOT GUARANTEED and the Instructor is within her right to refuse a make-up request. Any no-shows without prior notice will be denied a make-up.

A Lesson Book and Workbook will be assigned or if your child is currently working through a book, we can pick up from where they left off. 
For an Introduction to Piano Study, I usually recommend the Alfred Series of Books. Suggested titles include: 
Alfred Basic Piano Course Level IA or B (orange books)
Alfred Basic Piano for the Late Beginner (Silver Books), OR the 
Alfred Adult Level I Book (for young students who are already familiar with music theory or have played an instrument before)

For Keyboard Studies, suggested titles include:
My First Keyboard - Ben Parker
Chord Quest or Super Start My First Piano Patterns - Meridee Winters

I also incorporate learning materials, out sourced and my own outside of the book such as visuals, worksheets, and theory activities to create a unique and fun understanding of the material covered. 

Students will also learn how to sightread music and develop a musical ear, apply basic to immediate principles in music theory, ear training, and sight singing. We will apply concepts learned for keyboard playing as well including various types of chords and common chord progressions that make up many popular songs.

Don't hesitate to ask questions on how I can personally design our piano lessons to fit your child's interests.

See you soon!
