Class Experience

Welcome to Intermediate Piano Course 4! It is highly recommended that enrolled learners have already completed my previous six levels of piano classes. These classes are:
-Introduction to Piano Fundamentals
-Piano Fundamentals 2
-Piano Fundamentals 3
-Intermediate Piano Course 1
-Intermediate Piano Course 2
-Intermediate Piano Course 3

If you have not completed all of the above classes, please message me to assess your learner. We will have weekly assignments and practice is vital for success in this course. A solid foundation in music reading, chords, and scale playing is required. We will begin on pg.
124 and continue until pg. 140-141 "The Entertainer". Here is the weekly breakdown:

Week 1: Key of F Major review and "O Sole Mio" pg. 124-125
Week 2: "Jericho" pg. 127 and minor scales
Week 3: "Greensleeves" pg. 130-131
Week 4: "Scarborough Fair" pg. 135
Week 5: "Raisins and Almonds" pg. 136-137
Week 6: "The Entertainer" hands separate 
Week 7: "The Entertainer" hands together
Week 8: Performance and celebration

Beyond this level, I recommend that learners go into private lessons to fit their individual needs. I will continue to provide "style studies" for different genres of piano music beyond this level. I hope you can join me in this exciting class!

Learning Goals

Students will complete the Alfred All-In-One Piano Coursebook.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello, I teach guitar, piano, and bass classes for the ages of 6 and up. I also specialize in music theory and jazz harmony. 

I began teaching music in 2002 and it has been my primary profession ever since. 

I believe in teaching the fundamentals. Reading notation is a must. Deciphering chords, understanding harmony. The facts of music take priority in my lessons. I believe that everyone has limitless potential to be whatever kind of musician they would like to be. 

Note to parents:
Here is my recommended learning path for my piano students:

1. Introduction to Piano Fundamentals- for the pure beginner. Young learners will find this class simple to grasp and loads of fun. This class is a great way to establish good habits from day one.

2. Piano Fundamentals 2- This is a class where we focus on reading music notation. Any learner with a bit of piano experience who is unsure of their reading can start here. Reading music is essential in your piano journey and learners who cannot do this well will struggle in these courses. This class is highly recommended.

3. Piano Fundamentals 3- Where we learn to master the art of practice and play through the rest of the beginner method book

4. Intermediate Piano Course 1- We jump to the big leagues and master basic chords in C and G position. We move quickly and play more advanced pieces. Quality practice is essential for success in this class.

5. Intermediate Piano Course 2A and 2B- Hanon exercises, an expanded rhythmic vocabulary, and more sophisticated piano pieces are covered in these courses.

6. Intermediate Piano Course 3- Scales, technique, and longer pieces in different keys.

7. Intermediate Piano Course 4- We will learn about minor scales and get to the end of the Alfred Adult All-In-One Course book. 

8. Advanced Piano 1- We make the jump into the Alfred Adult Level 2 book.

9. Advanced Piano 2- We continue through the Level 2 book.

10. Advanced Piano 3- We cover the keys of E minor, D Major, and the chromatic scale

11. Advanced Piano 4- Chord inversions are covered as well as 2 part writing

12. Recital Ready- This is an ongoing class where we cover famous piano literature in a group setting. This is the highest level group class that I teach and it is recommended that learners cover all previous levels before enrolling. 🎹 


I’m a father and a husband and I love what I do! I was the primary bassist for The Daytime Emmy Awards show from 2016 to 2019.
